In a move that has sparked excitement in the world of soccer, Cristiano Ronaldo Jr., the 13-year-old son of the legendary Cristiano Ronaldo, has recently inked a contract with Al-Nassr’s U13 team. The young talent is set to commence his training with the club in the coming days, donning the iconic jersey number 7 — a nod to his father’s enduring legacy.

Cristiano Ronaldo, widely regarded as one of the greatest soccer players of all time, is currently in his second season with Saudi Arabian club Al-Nassr. His record-breaking $75-million-per-year deal, signed in December 2022, extends through the summer of 2025. While Ronaldo is now 38 years old, there’s a heartfelt aspiration driving this family story, as revealed by world football insider Fabrizio Romano.

Ronaldo Sr. has previously shared that his son’s dream is to play professionally alongside his illustrious father. “My son tells me: dad, hold on a few more years, I want to play with you!” Romano noted. This dream could become a reality if Ronaldo continues to play professionally for a few more seasons.

Cristiano Ronaldo’s storied career spans 23 seasons, during which he has amassed an astonishing 732 career goals across all competitions. When including his 127 goals for the Portuguese national team, Ronaldo’s tally of 859 goals surpasses any other player in top-flight soccer history, eclipsing Lionel Messi’s 821 and Pelé’s 762.

Throughout his career, Ronaldo has graced the rosters of Sporting CP, Manchester United, Real Madrid, Juventus, and now Al-Nassr. He has captured seven league titles and raised the UEFA Champions League trophy five times. His individual accolades include five FIFA Ballon d’Or awards, twice being named the Best FIFA Men’s Player, and once earning the title of FIFA World Player of the Year.

Although Ronaldo’s illustrious career lacks a World Cup triumph, he led Portugal to victory in the 2016 UEFA European Championship, filling a void in his remarkable list of accomplishments.
