José Mourinho has finally addressed speculation linking Cristiano Ronaldo to a potential move to Turkish club Fenerbahçe. The Portuguese superstar, currently playing for Al Nassr, has unexpectedly been rumored to join the Turkish league.
Quote. "Cristiano might come to Istanbul for a meal because it’s right in the middle between Saudi Arabia and Portugal. Or maybe he’ll take his private jet to visit an old friend, José, so we can have dinner at my hotel."
"As for those saying he’s going to play for Fenerbahçe, they either don’t know what they’re writing about or they’re happy spreading ridiculous stories," Mourinho added.
Context. British outlet The Sun previously claimed that Mourinho was keen on facilitating Ronaldo’s move to Fenerbahçe and had even reportedly held talks with his compatriot. Mourinho’s response appears to dismiss these rumors outright.
