Jose Mourinho has denied rumors that Cristiano Ronaldo will join him at Fenerbahce in Türkiye next season.
A rumor surfaced on Saturday that Fenerbahce boss Mourinho had called Ronaldo, his former star player at Real Madrid, and urged him to join the Turkish Super Lig club next summer. According to Fotomac, the veteran manager told the Al-Nassr star: “Are you happy there? They say you want to leave. If you leave, what do you think of Fenerbahce? »
However, on Sunday the former Manchester United boss refuted the rumour, calling it ” ridiculous“, because he declared that he would love to meet his compatriot in Istanbul, if only to share a meal. The 39-year-old is currently in the final year of his contract, but is expected to sign a new lease with the Saudi giants soon as he is keen to continue playing beyond the 2024-25 campaign.
A meal shared by the two GOATs?
Speaking to reporters about the possibility of his reunion with Ronaldo, Mourinho said: “ The news regarding Cristiano Ronaldo at Fenerbahce is ridiculous. Cristiano could come to Istanbul to eat because it’s just in the middle of the road between Saudi Arabia and Portugal. Or maybe he’ll come see his old friend José, we can eat at my hotel! “
The Portuguese captain will be back in action for Al-Nassr on Monday as the Saudi Pro League side take on Al-Gharafa in an away AFC Champions League match.
