Cristiano Ronaldo Junior’s future could be linked with Real Madrid once again. Cristiano Ronaldo’s eldest son trained with the youth team on Tuesday, suggesting he could be included in the squad within the next few days, The Athletic and MARCA confirmed. At the age of 15, the young striker worked for the Madrid team Cadete A and, according to the newspaper, the idea is that he will test playing in the winger position and continue training in Valdebebas for a few more days.
He is currently part of the Al Nasr Academy, where he has played since his father’s arrival in December 2022, and if the transfer goes through, Ronaldo Jr. will once again follow in his father’s footsteps. The Portuguese star’s eldest son has already played for Manchester United and Juventus’ youth teams.
Internationally, Ronaldo Jr. was born in the United States but chose Portugal. He was first called up in May last year, making his debut for the Under-15s against Japan, and continued his development through Portugal’s youth ranks.
Cristiano Ronaldo likely to return to Madrid
Cristiano Junior’s future as a Real Madrid youth player candidate opens up a new scenario with his father. The striker remains under contract with the Saudi side until June 30, 2027, and at the age of 41 is still aiming for 1,000 professional goals (964 goals).
However, although Cristiano Jr. will always have the option of living in Real Madrid’s Ciudad Deportiva mansion, his son’s arrival in the Spanish capital could mean the entire family returning home in the short term.
He will turn 16 this June and will be old enough to play at youth level next season.
