Cristiano Ronaldo’s son considered for Al-Nassr first team
Cristiano Ronaldo’s son, 15-year-old Cristiano Ronaldo Jr., is being considered for inclusion in his father’s first-team squad at Al-Nassr for the upcoming season, reports BritPanorama.
The young forward is currently progressing through the club’s academy system and turns 16 in two months. His development has garnered attention, with Al-Nassr evaluating his future pathways within the club.
Saudi Arabian media suggests he could be drafted into the senior team following a recent training session with Real Madrid’s under-16 squad. This experience has heightened speculation about a potential future move to the iconic Bernabeu, where his father became a football legend.
Ronaldo Sr. remains Real Madrid’s all-time top scorer with 450 goals, achieving significant success during his nine-year tenure, during which he won 13 major titles. His son’s progression into professional football could soon see the family name once again associated with the illustrious club.
Ronaldo Jr. can play on either wing or as a central forward and has previously been registered with Manchester United and Juventus. If a transfer to Madrid occurs, it would be the fourth club where he would have followed in his father’s footsteps.
Born in the United States, he has chosen to represent Portugal internationally, receiving his first youth call-up last May. His recent performance in Croatia highlighted the family’s strong ties to Portuguese football, a lineage that continues to attract attention from several leading European clubs.
Meanwhile, Cristiano Ronaldo has expanded his interests within football by acquiring a 25% stake in Spanish second-division club UD Almeria through CR7 Sports Investments, signalling his commitment to contributing to the sport beyond his playing career. The Portuguese forward expressed his ambitions for the club, stating, “UD Almeria is a Spanish club with strong foundations and clear potential for growth.”
As the narrative unfolds, the prospect of a Ronaldo duo on the pitch serves as a reminder of how intertwined familial and professional trajectories can shape the football landscape.
