Jose Mourinho Eyes Romelu Lukaku Reunion at Fenerbahce
Fresh off his appearance at the Champions League final, Jose Mourinho wasted no time in making headlines as he was officially unveiled as the new manager of Turkish club Fenerbahce. The Special One, known for his illustrious managerial career with the likes of Manchester United, Tottenham, and Real Madrid, has signed a two-year deal with Fenerbahce, aiming to guide the club to its first league title since 2014.
Transfer Targets Revealed
In his first public appearance as Fenerbahce manager, Mourinho hinted at his transfer targets, revealing discussions with club officials about potential signings. Among the names dropped were familiar ones, including Romelu Lukaku, Paulo Dybala, and Anderson Talisca. Lukaku, who has previously played under Mourinho at Chelsea, Manchester United, and Roma, appears to be a top target for the Turkish side.
Lukaku’s Potential Move
Lukaku’s impressive loan spell at Roma, where he scored 21 goals and made four assists in 47 appearances, has sparked interest from Mourinho and Fenerbahce. With just two years left on his Chelsea contract and the Blues dropping their asking price to around £20 million, Lukaku’s move to Fenerbahce seems attainable. However, Napoli, set to appoint Antonio Conte, also have their eyes on the Belgian striker, adding competition to the mix.

Mourinho’s interest extends beyond Lukaku, with Dybala and Talisca also on his radar. Dybala, currently with just a year left on his contract at Juventus, previously played under Mourinho at Roma. Meanwhile, Talisca, currently with Saudi Pro League side Al-Nassr, offers versatility and attacking prowess.
Mourinho’s Promise to Fenerbahce Fans
At his unveiling, Mourinho expressed gratitude for the warm reception from Fenerbahce fans and pledged his dedication to the club’s success. He emphasized his passion for football and promised to give his all for the club’s supporters. With Mourinho at the helm, Fenerbahce fans can expect a renewed sense of ambition and determination as they look to reclaim their position among Turkish football’s elite.
