Dirk Kuyt will be offered a summer escape by Galatasaray after being deemed surplus to requirements at Liverpool.
The Turkish giants are planning a fresh move for the Dutch striker as he was earmarked as part of Kenny Dalglish's close season clear-out plans with a renewed assault on the Premier League's top four next term planned as their current quest for Champions League qualification in danger of falling short.
Since arriving from Feyenoord in 2006, Kuyt has been transformed into a versatile component of Liverpool's side, where he has often been deployed as a winger and enjoys cult hero status among the Anfield faithful.
He has continued to feature regularly in Dalglish's plans this season but his place as a mainstay in the starting line-up he has been threatened by the arrivals of Jordan Henderson and Stewart Downing, both considered better suited to the side's needs despite a good understanding between Kuyt and fellow former Eredivisie hit man Luis Suarez during the second half of last season.
Last year he penned a contract extension which would see him remain on Merseyside until the summer of 2013 but it is understood that Liverpool would be willing to offload him at the end of the current campaign, a full 12 months before his current deal matures.
Kuyt, who turns 32 in July, was an integral part of the club's path to next month's Carling Cup final and had been linked with a move to Galatasaray earlier this month but their initial approach was rebuffed.
However Fatih Terim remains undeterred in his pursuit of the attacker, who has become famed for a tireless work rate during his six-year spell, and an offer of £6million is hoped to be enough to force Liverpool's hand once they have required more youthful reinforcements.
