Two Liverpool stars sensationally at centre of presidential duel An incredible story brewing in Turkey involving two of Liverpool's biggest stars. Both Galatasaray and Fenerbahce are holding presidential elections this summer. It's a mad time for Turkish football, then, as you can expect wild promises that need delivering.

Each club has a candidate looking to promise a world-class talent. And funnily enough, they've picked Liverpool players for it - two of the best we've ever seen in the Red. Fotomac says that Galatasaray’s current President Dursun Özbek is eager to sign Virgil van Dijk this summer.

He's the sole candidate in elections but views Liverpool's captain as attainable. It's entirely possible, too. Van Dijk is entering the final year of his deal and there's every chance that a major offer on a long-term contract tempts him into calling time on his Liverpool career.

One that's more clear-cut is from Fenerbahce, with candidate Hakan Safi claiming he will offer Mohamed Salah €20m per year to move to the club. That's again according to Fotomac . Blockbuster deals for both clubs, then, as they look to make waves in Turkish football this year.
