Recently, the world of football was 'shaken' with news suggesting that one of the great legends of international football who is still active, Cristiano Ronaldo, could join Fenerbahçe to have one last adventure in high-level football competition in the 'Old Continent'. This idea was intriguing, both for the possibility of seeing the Portuguese star again immersed in the European football scene, and for the potential reunion in the Turkish team, led by José Mourinho, with whom he coincided at Real Madrid and with whom it is known they had their differences in the past.
However, the information spread by various Turkish media seems to be simply a utopia. Mourinho, in his role as Fenerbahçe coach, wasted no time in discrediting this theory, true to his 'spicy' style in responding to certain questions, ruling out any possibility of seeing Cristiano Ronaldo wearing the 'Yellow Canaries' jersey.
"Maybe he can come to have lunch one day. Istanbul is halfway between Saudi Arabia and Portugal. We will get on his private jet and he will come to see his old friend José. Will he play for Fenerbahçe? Either they don't know what they write or those who do this are happy to make ridiculous news," 'The Special One' asserted.
The factors supporting Cristiano Ronaldo's arrival at Fenerbahçe under José Mourinho
It is worth noting that this idea had gained some relevance due to a combination of several factors. Firstly, the undeniable search that Fenerbahçe is conducting in the market to strengthen themselves with a forward.
Also, based on the information on which this potential union of Cristiano with Fenerbahçe was based, the Portuguese would not be entirely satisfied in Saudi Arabian football with Al-Nassr. Similarly, considering that his contract ends on June 30, 2025, it would not be surprising if this transaction took place, especially considering the relationship between two former acquaintances like Mourinho and 'CR7'.
However, with this statement from 'Mou', it is clear that this possibility is simply a utopia and that Cristiano's return to Europe, unless a drastic change in events occurs, seems unlikely, whether with Fenerbahçe or any other club on the continent.
