Cristiano Ronaldo’s eldest son, Cristiano Jr, has made headlines by reportedly signing with Al Nassr Under-13s. The young footballer, born in June 2010, has a notable football pedigree, having been part of the academies at Real Madrid, Juventus, and Manchester United during his father’s tenure at these clubs.
Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano confirmed Cristiano Jr’s move to Al Nassr, a Saudi Arabian club. The young prodigy is expected to commence training with the club in the coming days, donning the iconic No. 7 jersey, a number synonymous with his father’s illustrious career.
While Cristiano Jr is just beginning his football journey and has a long way to go before considering professional contracts, his ambitions mirror those of his famous father. In 2022, Cristiano Ronaldo revealed that his son expressed a desire to play alongside him, saying, “My son tells me, ‘Dad, hold on a few more years – I want to play with you.'”
This move comes after Cristiano Ronaldo’s high-profile transfer to Al Nassr in December 2022. The Portuguese icon, who continues to shine in the twilight of his career, now finds his son following in his footsteps, enjoying the ideal mentorship from one of football’s greatest legends.
As Cristiano Jr embarks on his football journey with Al Nassr, football fans around the world eagerly await his development and progress through the ranks to see if he will meet up with his father and share the pitch with him.
