Cristiano Ronaldo's 15-year-old son, Cristiano Jr., joined a training session with Real Madrid's under-16 team on Wednesday. The session signals his potential move to the Spanish club's youth setup. The youngster, currently with Al-Nassr, has prior experience at Juventus and Manchester United.
Cristiano Ronaldo Jr., the 15-year-old son of the Al-Nassr striker, participated in a training session with Real Madrid's under-16 team yesterday. The Athletic reported that he is training with the Spanish club with an eye toward joining their youth ranks, marking a step away from solely following his father's footsteps in Saudi Arabia. Jr. has previously suited up for the youth teams of Juventus and Manchester United, where his father played professionally, and now features for Al-Nassr's academy. On the international stage, he debuted for Portugal's under-15 side against Japan in last year's Vlatko Markovic International Tournament and has since advanced to the under-17 squad. Fans of Real Madrid, where Ronaldo Sr. is revered as a legend, may welcome the prospect of another Ronaldo donning the club's colors. The elder Ronaldo tallied 450 goals in 438 appearances during his time there, securing four Champions League titles, two La Liga crowns, and two Copa del Rey trophies. At 41, Ronaldo Sr. is nursing a hamstring injury that sidelined him from Portugal's recent friendlies against Mexico and the United States. He holds the record as Portugal's all-time leading scorer with 143 goals in 226 caps.
