Martin Skrtel cools Liverpool exit rumours

Liverpool defender Martin Skrtel has insisted that he has not agreed a move away from the club, despite an Italian reporter claiming that he has arranged to join Roma.

The 31-year-old has been heavily linked with a move to Fenerbahce and was thought to be close to signing a contract with the Turkish giants.

Emanuele Giulianelli had subsequently claimed in a tweet that Skrtel had put pen to paper on a three-year deal with the Giallorossi.

However, the Slovakian international, currently playing at Euro 2016, took to Instagram to cool speculation of a move away from Anfield.

Skrtel told followers that he is solely focusing on his duties with Slovakia and that "all other stuff" will have to wait until after the tournament.

The Liverpool centre-back is likely to face many of his club teammates when Slovakia face England on Monday.
