There could be another Cristiano Ronaldo at Real Madrid in the not too distant future.
The Athletic reported this morning that the Al-Nassr striker’s son is training with the Spanish club with a view to joining the youth team.
Cristiano Jr joined in the session with Real Madrid’s under-16 team yesterday as he edges closer to moving away from following his father’s career path. The 15-year-old forward has previously played for Juventus, Manchester United and is currently at Al-Nassr.
The youngster has already made his international debut, playing for Portugal under-15s against Japan in the Vlatko Markovic International Tournament last year and has subsequently been fast-tracked into the under-17 squad.
Ronaldo Sr is a Real Madrid legend
The news of another Ronaldo in Madrid is sure to excite the supporters.
Ronaldo Sr remains one of the greatest players in the club’s illustrious history. He scored 450 goals in 438 appearances and helped them win the Champions League on four occasions as well as La Liga twice and the Copa del Rey twice.
The 41-year-old is currently sidelined due to a hamstring injury and was not called into the Portugal squad for the international friendlies against Mexico and the United States.
Ronaldo Sr has scored 143 goals for Portugal in 226 appearances, making him the all-time highest scorer in international football.
