Jose Mourinho's first three transfer targets named as new Fenerbahce manager eyes Chelsea & Roma stars and Cristiano Ronaldo team-mate

Jose Mourinho's first three transfer targets have been named after the former Chelsea and Manchester United boss was unveiled as Fenerbahce's new boss in front of thousands of fans. The Portuguese returns to work after being sacked by Roma in January and the club's prospective new president went on the record with the club's transfer targets.

Aziz Yildirim, who is running in the club's upcoming elections, said: "I mentioned the players. We said Lukaku. We said Dybala and Talisca.We keep the rest for ourselves. I’ll tell you after I am elected.”

Mourinho has previously worked with Romelu Lukaku, signing him on loan at Roma last season, and he is believed to be available from Chelsea for £20 million (€23m/$25m). Paulo Dybala was also at Roma with Mourinho and has a reported £10m (€12m/$11m) release clause, while Anderson Talisca currently plays alongside Cristiano Ronaldo at Al-Nassr.

Details of Mourinho's contract with Fener have not yet been disclosed, but the 61-year-old will be tasked with snapping a run of three consecutive second-place finishes in the Super Lig and delivering the league title. This season saw them lose just one game all season as they lost out in an epic title race to rivals Galatasaray.
