Rumour Has It: Cristiano Ronaldo agrees in principle to join Fenerbahce

Ronaldo,
37,
has
come
off
the
bench
in
each
of
Manchester
United’s
last
three
wins
on
the
trot,
with
his
only
start
of
the
season
coming
in
the
4-0
loss
at
Brentford.

With
the
transfer
window
shut
in
England,
Germany,
Italy,
France,
Spain,
Portugal,
the
Netherlands
and
most
of
Europe’s
top
leagues,
it
seemed
like
Ronaldo
was
destined
to
remain
with
United
until
at
least
January
–
but
the
Turkish
window
remains
open
until
September
8.

RONALDO
STILL
WANTS
OUT
OF
OLD
TRAFFORD,
AGREES
TO
FENERBAHCE
MOVE

Turkish
Super
Lig
outfit
Fenerbahce
could
be

13
goals

on
the
way
as
club
president
Ali
Koc
is
reportedly
on
board
with
the
move,
with
just
last
details
required
to
finalise
things.

Koc
has
experience
with
high-profile
signings,
having
convinced
Ronaldo’s
former
Real
Madrid
team-mate
Mesut
Ozil
to
sign
last
season,
collecting
eight
goals
and
two
assists
in
22
league
matches
before
opting
to
remain
in
the
Super
Lig
for
another
campaign,
moving
to
Istanbul
Basaksehir.
