José Mourinho, currently at the head of Fenerbahçe, would have a bold ambition: to bring Cristiano Ronaldo to Türkiye. According to the Turkish press (Photo), the “Special One” would have contacted the five-time Ballon d’Or, currently at Al-Nassr, to explore his desire to leave Saudi Arabia. Mourinho reportedly told Ronaldo: “Are you happy there?” If you leave, would you like to come to Fenerbahçe? »
Fenerbahçe sporting director Mario Branco has reportedly started talks with the Saudi club. However, a major obstacle stands in the way of this potential transfer: Ronaldo’s colossal salary, estimated at 200 million euros gross per year, an amount that is difficult to achieve for the Turkish club.
Al-Nassr ready to discuss a departure in January?
The option of seeing Ronaldo leave Al-Nassr as early as January 2025 would not be excluded. Under contract until June 2025, CR7 has already scored 10 goals and delivered 3 assists in 15 appearances this season. Fenerbahçe, second in the Süper Lig five points behind Galatasaray, is hoping for a strong reinforcement to relaunch its quest for the title.
This transfer, although complex, could become one of the most unexpected in recent football history, bringing together two iconic figures of Portuguese football.
