Kolo Toure and Dejan Lovren were preferred in the absence of Mamadou Sakho. Toure is however now a free agent as he was released earlier this month.
Several Turkish clubs have been keeping tabs on the Slovakian who is currently representing his country at the Euro 2016 in France.
The reports further claimed that Fenerbahce are leading the race and are likely to bring and end to Skrtel's eight year spell at the Merseyside club.
