Cristiano Jr is currently playing for Al-Nassr Academy.

After attending the Manchester United and Juventus academies, Cristiano Ronaldo’s kid is headed for a future in football and, should he succeed, will have several international possibilities.

Cristiano Ronaldo Jr, who is presently a member of Al-Nassr’s academy, has the potential to represent three different countries.

Before relocating to the Middle East, the young player played for Manchester United and Juventus‘ youth teams. He followed his father as he made transfers all over the world. According to reports, Ronaldo’s oldest son may have rejoined Real Madrid after training two years ahead of his age group before he arrived at the Mahd Academy in 2023.

His travels throughout the world have given the teenager access to a variety of opportunities that he may pursue in the future. Playing abroad in the US, Portugal, or Spain might be in store.

Naturally, Ronaldo Jr. can represent Portugal through his father and is eligible to play for Spain because he spent the majority of his early years there. FIFA regulations allow him to be eligible because he was in the country for three or more years prior to turning ten.

Additionally, the United States may still call the teenager. According to reports, Ronaldo Jr. would be eligible to represent the USA because he was born in California.

But any hope that the next Ronaldo will play for England was soon dashed. The youngster would have needed to be in the nation for five years in order to be eligible, but he joined his father when he returned to Old Trafford.

Ronaldo Jr. wants to play professionally, but his 40-year-old father is careful not to put too much pressure on his son.

“This generation, it is difficult to tell them something and let them do it,’ he said last year. They will always see their daddy as an example, they see me every day in what I do, at home, in training, or in a game. They see me work a lot.”
