Sources in Germany suggest that should Liverpool return in the summer for Hamburg’s Dutch winger Eljero Elia, the Bundesliga club will ask for defender Martin Skrtel to be included in any deal.

The Slovak centre back has many fans throughout German football, with Wolfsburg keen to sign the player in the recent January transfer window.

Skrtel is happy at Anfield and has denied having to field concrete offers, but nevertheless the Slovak could have a decision to make if Liverpool consent to Hamburg’s demands.

While it is by no means certain that the Reds will return for Elia at the end of the season, particularly given that winger Sylvain Marveaux is on the verge of agreeing a switch to Anfield, should Liverpool try again for the Dutchman then Hamburg will make the inclusion of Skrtel a make-or-break point of any deal.
