Martin Skrtel considering Liverpool future

Centre-back Martin Skrtel is considering his Anfield future after seeing out most of the second-half of the season on the bench, with Brendan Rodgers instead choosing to start now-retired defender Jamie Carragher.

“I have not had any specific offers. But if some should come and they interest me, I would probably consider it seriously.” Skrtel told the Slovakian media.

“The club has the biggest say in this in any case, because they have the right for it with me being contracted.

“I am not saying that I want to leave at any cost. I feel sorry for what happened in this season. But I have been here for five-and-a-half years and I have built a position here.”

With Carragher retiring and Skrtel angling for an exit, Rodgers has had to look to the transfer market to bolster his defensive options, with Schalke’s Kyriakos Papadopoulos a key target, whilst out-of-contract Kolo Toure may be brought in to add experience.
