Cristiano Ronaldo’s son, the eldest of the iconic footballer’s children, Ronaldo Jr is following in his father’s footsteps by joining Al-Nassr’s Under 13 team in Saudi Arabia. The 13-year-old recently signed a deal with the Riyadh club’s youth team and will commence training with his new teammates in the coming days.
Since Ronaldo’s transfer to Al-Nassr in January, his son has been training in Saudi Arabia, and now he officially joins the Pro League side’s academy. In a move that further emulates his father, he will wear the coveted No. 7 jersey, closely associated with the five-time Ballon d’Or winner.
The young Ronaldo aspires to achieve a dream many football fans share – playing alongside his father. Cristiano Ronaldo had previously shared, “Sometimes, my son tells me: ‘Dad, hold on for a few more years, I want to play with you.’ But that will be difficult.” Given Cristiano Ronaldo’s age of 38, it remains uncertain whether he’ll still be an active player when his son is eligible for the senior squad.
Both Ronaldo and Al-Nassr are gearing up for their upcoming match against Damac in the Saudi Pro League, set to take place this Saturday.
