Ronaldo has enjoyed great form in Saudi Arabia, having registered 69 goals and 18 assists in 80 appearances while he remains a regular for Portugal.

However, Mourinho was quick to shut down any reunion with the five-time Ballon d'Or winner.

"Cristiano might come to Istanbul to eat because it's right in the middle of the road between Saudi Arabia and Portugal," Mourinho said, as per Si. 

"Or maybe he'll take his private jet and come see his old friend Jose Mourinho where we can eat at my hotel.

"As for those who say he will play for Fenerbahce, they either do not know what they are writing or are happy with the ridiculous news they are spreading."

Mourinho worked with Ronaldo during his three-year spell at Real Madrid, where they woon one LALIGA title and a Copa del Rey.
