After Fenerbahçe’s overwhelming victory against Kayserispor (6-2), José Mourinho took advantage of the press conference to clarify the rumors surrounding the arrival of Cristiano Ronaldo in his team. The Portuguese technician, visibly amused, brushed aside this possibility: “The rumors about Cristiano Ronaldo at Fenerbahçe are ridiculous. »
With his usual sense of humor, Mourinho added: “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 have dinner together at my hotel! » An offbeat but clear way to put an end to these speculations.
Ronaldo to Fenerbahçe? “Ridiculous information” according to Mourinho
The Turkish press had mentioned Mourinho’s possible interest in Ronaldo, whom he coached at Real Madrid between 2010 and 2013. But the Fenerbahçe coach insisted on the unreality of this rumor: “Either they don’t know what they’re writing or they like to post ridiculous information. »
Mourinho therefore closed the door on the arrival of the Al Nassr superstar in the Süper Lig, while confirming that he remains on good terms with his former protégé. However, for Istanbul supporters hoping to see CR7 in their ranks, hope now seems completely extinguished.
