Fotomac have reported Swansea City are looking to sign Fenerbahce central defender Martin Skrtel.

The Slovakian has been linked with a return to Premier League after only one season with the Turkish giants, and according to the Turkish newspaper the Swans are very interested in the player.

It’s been claimed Swansea City want to use the transfer money from the sale of Bafetimbi Gomis to pay for a Skrtel move, although the club’s finances certainly wouldn’t require an exit to bring someone in.

Fenerbahçe manager Aykut Kocaman wouldn’t want to sell Skrtel to Swansea City, but given Fenerbahçe financial problems, the sale of the player could be an option for the club’s board.

After his £5m transfer from Liverpool to Fenerbache last summer, it’s currently unclear if Skrtel would entertain a return to the Premier League. Skrtel was one of the standout players during Fenerbahce’s poor season, and played 47 games in all competitions.

The 32-year-old is under contract at Fenerbahce until 2019.
