Fenerbahce President Ali Koc reportedly travelled to London last week to meet with Joel Matip's agent and discuss a January loan move for the defender with Liverpool.
According to Turkish outlet AMK Spor (h/t Sport Witness' Nihat Emre Kocaaslan), Fenerbahce are eager to acquire his services for the remainder of the season and hoped to convince the Reds to part with him.
Given Matip's status in Liverpool's centre-back pecking order, the Turkish club might have had luck in prising him away from Anfield if not for a poorly timed injury to Joe Gomez, who will be out until the New Year.
