Jose Mourinho's Fenerbahce want to sign Cristiano Ronaldo’s teammate with better goals-per-game ratio than Portugal captain this season: Reports

Jose Mourinho-managed Fenerbahce are interested in signing Cristiano Ronaldo's Al-Nassr teammate Anderson Talisca. The exciting Brazilian winger has been in fine form in the Saudi Pro League, surpassing even Ronaldo's goals-per-game ratio.

Talisca has scored six goals in nine league games. Ronaldo has also scored nine goals from six matches, but four of the Portuguese ace's goals have come from the penalty spot. Talisca, on the other hand, has scored just one penalty.

The 30-year-old's quality has attracted interest abroad, as per reports. According to transfer expert Rudy Galetti (via SPORTbible), Jose Mourinho's Fenerbahce are monitoring Talisca and have revealed their interest to Al-Nassr. It is worth noting that the winger would not mind leaving Saudi Arabia.

An exit for Talisca could be a blow to Cristiano Ronaldo and Al-Nassr. The legendary Portuguese forward has found it difficult to break Al-Hilal's monopoly in the league. Talisca's brilliant performances could improve their chances this season and Al-Nassr will certainly miss out on goals if he leaves.

With the winter transfer window around the corner, time will tell if Fenerbahce proceed to act on their interest in Talisca.

When Jose Mourinho spoke about Cristiano Ronaldo in detail

Earlier this year, Jose Mourinho discussed Cristiano Ronaldo in detail on Rio Ferdinand's YouTube channel FIVE. Despite being from Portugal, the duo had their fair share of troubles while at Real Madrid between 2010 and 2013.

Mourinho revealed that some of his problems with Ronaldo were connected to resting the legendary forward.

In the interview with FIVE, he said (via GOAL):

"You have guys like Cristiano, where you are playing against Levante and you are winning five-nil and you tell the guy to relax and take a rest. 'No, no, no, I can score one more goal!' When you have guys like this, you know the boat is in the water and you just let the boat go and in the end you enjoy the fight."

Jose Mourinho also spoke about how it was not possible to coach a player like Cristiano Ronaldo, adding:

"I think you don't coach [him]. You don't teach much, it's about being happy and it's about creating an environment from the tactical point of view, from the ideas of football... Motivation, you don't need to give him. Ambition, you don't need to give him. Technique, you don't need to give him. You give some tactical adjustments and let the guy be happy."

While Mourinho was sacked by Real Madrid in 2013, Ronaldo stayed at the club until 2018, becoming Los Blancos' all-time leading goalscorer with 450 goals.
