Martin Skrtel is being lured to Turkey by a staggering offer from Galatasaray, writes Neil Moxley in the Sunday People..

The Liverpool star, who has two years left on his Anfield contract, has been told his salary will be a minimum £100,000 a week.

Skrtel was one of the cornerstones of Brendan Rodgers' defence last season. And now the stage is set for a tug-of-war between the two clubs over a fee as Liverpool will be reluctant to release him.

The 29-year-old is not unhappy on Merseyside but he will be minded that several big-name stars such as Didier Drogba and Wesley Sneijder have already moved out to Istanbul.

If he goes, the Slovakian centre-half will be joined in the Reds' departure lounge by Iago Aspas, who is set to join Sevilla for around half the £7.2million he cost just a year ago.
