Celtic defender Dedryck Boyata could face another blow after Fenerbahce indicated they are moving on from their interest in the centre-back.

Turkish outlet Ajansspor reported this week that Boyata is on Fenerbahce’s radar as they look to add a centre-back.

But now Fenerbahce are said to be switching attention to Liverpool’s Ragnar Klavan.

Turkish Football report Fenerbahce sporting director Damien Comolli will fly to Liverpool this week to hold talks with his former club over a move for Klavan.

Whether on loan or permanent, Klavan would be cheaper than signing Boyata.

Boyata is under pressure at Celtic after trying to land a move to Fulham in the transfer window.

The Scottish Sun report Boyata has been on strike, which the defender disputes, claiming he is injured.

Fenerbahce’s interest in Klavan will deprive Boyata of a possible escape route from Celtic, which it increasingly looks like he needs.
