Cristiano Ronaldo Jr signs for Al-Nassr U13 team

Ronaldo's son will wear the number '7' shirt

Cristiano Ronaldo Jr took a big step in his dream to become a footballer just like his father by signing for the Al-Nassr U13 team.

He is also given the honour to wear the number '7' at the back of the shirt, the same number his legendary father has worn since his Manchester United days.

Ronaldo Jr has already played at different academies like Real Madrid, Juventus and Manchester United.

Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano has reported that the eldest son of Cristiano Ronaldo will join the U13 team of his dad's current team. He added that Cristiano Ronaldo Jr will begin training with the Saudi Arabian club in the next few days.

Cristiano Ronaldo once said: “My son tells me: Dad, hold on a few more years, I want to play with you!”. The Portuguese forward is 38 and is likely to continue playing for at least a couple of more seasons. If Cristiano Jr breaks through then he might get a chance to play along with his father.

Cristiano Jr has started off strong when it comes to living up to his father’s legacy. While his father is enjoying his time with Al Nassr, the 13-year-old has also left his mark with the Mahd Academy in Saudi Arabia. The youngster has been training with kids two years older than him and has already left his mark on the national academy.

In a recent interview, when the star was asked if he wants his son to become his successor, the Portuguese star briskly put an end to the speculations. “Will my son be my successor? Let him enjoy his life. He will become what he wants”, Cristiano Ronaldo concluded.

Cristiano Jr has shown a bit of promise and fans will surely have to keep an eye on this upcoming talent.
