Rumors have been circulating that Cristiano Ronaldo might be considering a return to European football, with speculation surrounding his potential move to Fenerbahçe under the guidance of his fellow countryman, José Mourinho. However, Mourinho has downplayed these rumors, poking fun at the notion.
Mourinho humorously suggested that the only reasons for Ronaldo’s potential visit to Turkey would be to indulge in the country’s famous cuisine or to reconnect with him. He wryly noted that Turkey is a convenient stopover for Ronaldo, who could stop by to taste the local delicacies or catch up with an old friend.
“The idea of Cristiano joining Fenerbahçe is a joke,” Mourinho said during a recent press conference. “I can imagine him visiting Istanbul just to sample the fantastic food on his travels from Saudi Arabia to Portugal. Or maybe he’ll swing by to have a meal at my hotel – that’s the only reason!”
In other news, KRC Genk’s Nigerian forward, Tolu Arokodare, celebrated a successful birthday by scoring a crucial goal in his team’s league match on November 24.
Arokodare’s 71st-minute goal proved decisive, securing his side’s victory and taking his tally to nine goals for the season. Following the match, he expressed his delight, acknowledging the challenging nature of the contest.
“This win is a fantastic feeling, but I must admit it was a tough match for us,” Arokodare said. “We struggled during the first half. Scoring a goal on my birthday, however, makes this moment even sweeter – it’s not just about the goal, but also about helping the team achieve victory.”
