Fenerbahce may be forced into selling Skrtel this summer as he has just 12 months remaining on his contract. The Slovakia international was, of course, a teammate of Gerrard during his time at Liverpool.
Skrtel made 320 appearances for Liverpool over a period of eight years, scoring 18 times and providing six assists in the process. The experienced defender went onto join Fenerbahce back in 2016.
