When asked about the possibility of signing the Al Nassr forward, whose contract expires at the end of the 2025 season, Mourinho told reporters that he is more likely to meet his former player for lunch. “The news about Cristiano Ronaldo joining Fenerbahce is ridiculous,” said the Portuguese coach. “It’s possible that Cristiano will come to Istanbul to eat because it’s right between Arabia and Portugal. Or maybe he’ll come to see his old friend José, and we can have dinner at my hotel.”
