Ronaldo, Jose Mourinho
Fenerbahce manager, José Mourinho, has rebuffed claims that he could try to bring Cristiano Ronaldo to the Turkish club after rumours emerged that the pair had spoken on the phone about a potential move.
Mourinho coached Ronaldo during his Real Madrid tenure, winning the LaLiga title in 2011-12 and the Copa del Rey the year prior.
Asked about the possibility of signing the Al Nassr forward, whose contract expires at the end of the 2025 season, Mourinho told reporters he is more likely to catch up with his former player over a meal.
“News about Cristiano Ronaldo’s move to Fenerbahce are ridiculous,” the Portuguese coach said.
“Cristiano might come to Istanbul to eat because it’s right in the middle of the road between Saudi and Portugal. Or maybe he’ll come see his old friend José, we can eat at my hotel.”
