After featuring for his previous club, Manchester United youngsters, Cristiano Ronaldo‘s son, Cristiano Jr., successfully followed in his father’s footsteps. He has recently signed with Al-Nassr‘s U-13 team, showing positive signs of being a footballer.
The young star is expected to take over the iconic number 7 jersey just like his father and continue his legacy. As described by Ronaldo’s mother, her grandson is a better footballer at his age than his father and shows significant signs of becoming a professional if he can be dedicated to the sport.
Cristiano Jr. has multiple videos of him playing football on the Internet, which have garnered love from Ronaldo’s supporters. They have appreciated his natural ability on the ball, accepting that his play style resembles his father’s. As Cristiano once said, “My son tells me, ‘dad, hold on a few more years, I want to play with you!” This dream seems to be coming true if CR7 can hold on.
He had some unbelievable stats when he played for Juventus U-9s. They included him appearing for the side 23 times and scoring 58 times while assisting 18 times. The fantastic stats showcase that he is just as prolific as his father and has the footballing gene as well as the brain to be one of the best.
How Cristiano Ronaldo feels about his son’s football
Cristiano Ronaldo has offered insights into his son’s potential future in professional football. As the celebrated Portuguese athlete’s remarkable career approaches its later stages, the prospect of his retirement remains a subject of speculation. Ronaldo, who recently guided Portugal to Euro 2024 qualification with a brace against Slovakia, hinted at the possibility of his participation in the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
This affirmed his intention to continue playing as long as his mental and physical condition allows. His eldest son, Cristiano Jr., has garnered attention for his football talents, having spent time in top-tier academies like Real Madrid, Manchester United, and Juventus, along with a stint at the Mahd Academy in Saudi Arabia. Many anticipate that he will follow in his father’s illustrious footsteps.
When questioned about the likelihood of his son becoming his successor, Ronaldo, who recently scored his 124th and 125th international goals for Portugal, responded with a heartfelt message. “If my son will be my successor? Let him enjoy life. He will be who he wants to be,” this is what the icon, Cristiano Ronaldo said.
