In an exciting development, Cristiano Jr., the 13-year-old son of football icon Cristiano Ronaldo, has officially become a part of Al Nassr’s Under-13 team. He will proudly wear the no.7 jersey, following in the footsteps of his father.
Cristiano Jr. is the eldest child of Ronaldo and has displayed a keen interest in pursuing a football career, mirroring his famous father’s passion for the game.
This young talent previously played for Real Madrid’s youth team during his father’s tenure with the club. He later continued his youth career by joining Juventus’ youth team after Ronaldo’s transfer from La Liga to Serie A.
In an interesting twist, Cristiano Jr. has now embarked on a new chapter by signing up with Al Nassr’s Under-13 squad, showcasing his commitment to following in his father’s illustrious path in the world of football.
It’s noteworthy that Cristiano Ronaldo himself made headlines earlier this year by joining Saudi Arabian outfit Al Nassr in January. His remarkable move to the Middle East marked him as the world’s highest-paid footballer, boasting an estimated £175 million yearly contract.
At the age of 38, Cristiano Ronaldo has proven his mettle in the Saudi Arabian league, amassing an impressive tally of 40 goals in the year 2023, a feat unsurpassed by any other player globally.
Since relocating to the Middle East with his girlfriend and children at the beginning of the year, the Portuguese national team captain has made a substantial impact on his new team.
It’s worth recalling that back in 2019, Cristiano Ronaldo had shared his son’s dream of one day playing alongside him before he retires from professional football. He mentioned, “Sometimes, my son tells me: ‘Dad, hold on for a few more years, I want to play with you.’ But that will be difficult,” highlighting the unique bond between the father and son duo.
