Jose Mourinho has addressed rumors linking Al-Nassr captain Cristiano Ronaldo with a future switch to Fenerbahce.

Turkish media claimed the Fenerbahce boss has been in contact with the Portuguese legend to convince him of moving to Istanbul.

But the Fener manager moved quickly to dismiss such reports.

"News about Cristiano Ronaldo to Fenerbahçe are ridiculous", said Mourinho, as quoted by Fabrizio Romano.

"Cristiano might come to Istanbul to eat because it's right in the middle of the road between Saudi and Portugal. Or maybe he'll come see his old friend Jose, we can eat at my hotel!".

Ronaldo's deal with Al-Nassr expires in the summer of 2025.
