Former Liverpool man Martin Skrtel has contract at Istanbul Basaksehir TERMINATED after rupturing Achilles with 36-year-old defender now likely to consider retirement

Former Liverpool defender Martin Skrtel has had his contract at Istanbul Basaksehir terminated by mutual consent after suffering a season-ending injury.

The 36-year-old recently ruptured his Achilles during a league match against Kasimpasa which ended 2-2, ruling him out of action for the Turkish top tier side.

Reports have now confirmed that Skrtel - whose contract was set to expire in June - has agreed to depart the club early, and is now likely to consider retirement from the game.
