Fenerbahce head coach José Mourinho has firmly dismissed speculation linking Cristiano Ronaldo to the Turkish club, making it clear that the Portuguese legend is not part of his plans. Mourinho praised Ronaldo’s enduring quality but expressed full confidence in his current striking options.
Speaking to reporters, Mourinho stated:
“Cristiano Ronaldo will not come to Fenerbahce. I’ve three good strikers, and I don’t need another one.”
While acknowledging Ronaldo’s legacy, Mourinho reiterated his satisfaction with the squad at his disposal:
“Cristiano will always be Cristiano, but I don’t want him because I’m satisfied with my strikers.”
The comments come amid rumors of Ronaldo’s potential moves following his stint in Saudi Arabia. However, Mourinho’s declaration shuts down any possibility of a reunion with Ronaldo, whom he previously coached at Real Madrid.
Fenerbahce fans will be encouraged by Mourinho’s belief in his current forwards as the club continues its push for domestic and European success under his leadership.
