Liverpool defender Martin Skrtel is joining Fenerbahce in a £5.5million deal. The Slovakia international has interest from Wolfsburg, Besiktas and China, as confirmed by his agent on Tuesday, but he is ready to join Fenerbahce after the European Championships after they agreed a fee with Liverpool.The 31-year-old centre-back has fallen down the pecking order at Anfield following an injury in January which allowed Jurgen Klopp to settle on a defence of Dejan Lovren and Mamadou Sakho.
Liverpool have also agreed to sign Joel Matip from Schalke.
Mithat Halis, Skrtel's representative, said: 'Fenerbahce have been interested for four years but there are also offers from China and Wolfsburg also want him.'
Skrtel is currently at Euro 2016 with Slovakia, with his nation winning their second game against Russia to put themselves in a good position to earn qualification from Group B.
Slovakia lost their first match against Wales, but impressed on Wednesday afternoon.
Skrtel has been with Liverpool for eight years, having signed for them from Zenit St Petersburg in 2008.
He cost the Anfield club £6.5million and has gone on to make 242 appearances for them in the league, scoring 16 goals.
