Cristiano Ronaldo’s 15-year-old son, Cristiano Jr, has begun training with Real Madrid’s under-16 side, signaling a potential return to the club where his father remains the all-time leading goalscorer.
Cristiano Ronaldo Jr trained with Real Madrid’s academy on Tuesday as he explores joining the Spanish club’s youth ranks.
The 15-year-old striker, currently with Saudi side Al Nassr’s academy, previously followed his father’s career path through the youth setups of Juventus and Manchester United.
A permanent move would return him to the city where his father scored a record-breaking 450 goals over nine seasons.
The teenager, a Portugal youth international, debuted for his country’s under-15 side last year and has since progressed to the under-17 level.
While born in the United States, his international future remains with Portugal, following in the footsteps of his 41-year-old father.
Ronaldo senior has captained the national team since 2008, scoring “the most goals in the nation’s history with 143 goals.”
