Portuguese duo could reunite as Ronaldo nears career crossroads.
Cristiano Ronaldo’s next move in football might take him to Turkey, as reports suggest Fenerbahce manager José Mourinho is keen to bring the iconic forward to the Super Lig. According to The Sun, Mourinho has already reached out to Ronaldo, who turns 40 in February, about potentially joining the club.
Ronaldo’s Future in Question
Ronaldo is currently with Saudi Pro League club Al-Nassr, where his contract is set to expire in June. The five-time Ballon d’Or winner has yet to agree on an extension, sparking speculation about his next destination. While Ronaldo has hinted at retirement within “one or two years,” the possibility of a final chapter in Turkey has ignited excitement among Fenerbahce fans.
Mourinho, a former manager of Ronaldo during their time at Real Madrid, reportedly contacted the forward directly to gauge his interest. “Are you happy there? There is talk that you want to leave. If you leave, would you like to come to Fenerbahce?” Mourinho is alleged to have asked.
Fenerbahce’s Ambitions
Reports in Turkey also suggest that Fenerbahce’s director of football, Mario Branco, has initiated talks with Ronaldo and his agent, Jorge Mendes, to explore the feasibility of the move. While the transfer is currently considered unlikely, the club’s supporters remain optimistic about the possibility of Ronaldo donning the Fenerbahce colors.
Ronaldo, one of the most celebrated players in football history, has enjoyed a glittering career with stints at Sporting CP, Manchester United, Real Madrid, Juventus, and Al-Nassr. Should he choose to join Fenerbahce, it could mark a dramatic final act in a career filled with record-breaking achievements.
A Reunion with Mourinho?
Mourinho’s interest in Ronaldo adds a layer of intrigue, as the two share a history of both professional success and occasional tension. However, their shared Portuguese heritage and mutual respect could set the stage for an unexpected reunion.
As Ronaldo contemplates his future, the football world watches closely. Whether he remains in Saudi Arabia, retires, or ventures to Turkey, the decision will undoubtedly capture global attention. For now, Fenerbahce supporters can only dream of welcoming one of football’s greatest legends to their club.
