The Italian giants could face competition from Premier League outfit Liverpool.

Turkish-Football recently reported that Liverpool have also been keeping tabs on Kjaer.

Another Premier League side that have been closely linked with Kjaer are Hull City.

Turkish outlet Fotomac reported that Hull City officials traveled to Istanbul to hold talks with Fenerbahce.

Despite interest from AC Milan, bookmaker Ladbrokes placed Hull City as favourites to sign Kjaer this summer with odds of 2.25.

Liverpool sit closely behind with odds of 2.75.

Kjaer does however, have experience playing in Italy having enjoyed stints at Palermo and Roma.

The Denmark international does have another two-years remaining on his contract and he is a fan favourite at the Istanbul giants.

Fenerbahce have yet to release a statement regarding the transfer speculation.
