Mourinho Dismisses Ronaldo to Fenerbahçe Rumors
Fenerbahçe coach José Mourinho has categorically denied speculation about a potential move for Cristiano Ronaldo to the Turkish club. Speaking to the media, Mourinho addressed the rumours head-on, clarifying that the deal is not in his plans and expressing his satisfaction with his current squad.
“Cristiano Ronaldo will not come to Fenerbahçe… it’s not happening,” Mourinho stated emphatically. “I already have three good strikers, and I don’t need another one. Cristiano will always be Cristiano, but I don’t want this deal to happen because I’m happy with the players I have.”
Mourinho’s comments come amidst persistent speculation linking Ronaldo, who is currently playing for Al-Nassr in Saudi Arabia, with a return to Europe. Despite his enduring form and immense global appeal, Mourinho questioned the motivation behind such a move.
“Cristiano has the money he earns in Saudi, and his goal is to reach 1,000 career goals,” Mourinho explained. “What could motivate him to come to Türkiye, other than the beauty of Istanbul?”
Ronaldo(38 years old) has been in fine form since his move to Al-Nassr, scoring goals at an astonishing rate. While rumours of a potential European return continue to swirl, Mourinho’s comments suggest that Fenerbahçe is not a destination for the Portuguese superstar.
Mourinho’s focus remains firmly on guiding Fenerbahçe to success, and he is clearly confident in his existing attacking lineup. With the team performing well under his leadership, Mourinho is determined to maintain their momentum without the distraction of high-profile transfers.
For now, Ronaldo’s career ambitions appear to lie in Saudi Arabia, while Mourinho continues to lead Fenerbahçe toward their goals in the Turkish Süper Lig.
