👀 Madrid Eyes on the Heir of the Legend Cristiano
Years after leaving Real Madrid as one of its greatest players of all time, the name of Cristiano Ronaldo is once again echoing through the halls of the Santiago Bernabéu — but this time, it's through his son, Cristiano Jr., who has started to capture attention and reignite hopes of a new Ronaldo era on the pitch.
Cristiano Jr., now 14 years old, has become a serious subject of interest for Real Madrid’s management, with scouts closely monitoring his technical growth, mental maturity, and early readiness for the world of professional football.

🧠 Direct Orders from Pérez: “Watch Him Closely”
Real Madrid president Florentino Pérez isn’t leaving anything to chance. He has issued direct instructions to the club’s scouting team to follow Cristiano Jr.'s progress during his appearances with Portugal’s U-15 national team — especially after his standout performances in the international “Vlatko Marković” tournament in Croatia.
The objective isn’t merely to assess his talent, but to determine whether the young Ronaldo possesses the mental discipline and work ethic that defined his father's legendary career with Los Blancos.

🏟️ Could the Name “Ronaldo” Return to the Bernabéu?
Reports from Madrid suggest that a potential return of Cristiano Jr. to Real Madrid’s academy is not off the table — provided he proves his development is on the right track.
This move wouldn’t just be symbolic or emotional — it has a sporting dimension as well. If all factors align, the club is prepared to take official steps toward signing him.
Having the Ronaldo name back at the Bernabéu would be a monumental event for Madridistas, especially given his father’s status as the club’s all-time top scorer and the creator of countless unforgettable Champions League and La Liga moments.

🇸🇦 Al-Nassr: The Foundation of a Future Star
Currently, Cristiano Jr. is training with Al-Nassr’s academy in Saudi Arabia, having joined in October 2023 while wearing the iconic No. 7 jersey — just like his father.
Despite the stark contrast in footballing environments between Europe and Saudi Arabia, Jr.’s development has been progressing steadily.May 2025 marked a pivotal milestone in his journey, as he made his first appearance with Portugal’s U-15 national team. His participation in a competitive international tournament at this age is a clear indicator of his growing potential and increasing credibility among football scouts.

🏆 Goals & Brilliance on the International Stage
During the Vlatko Marković tournament, Cristiano Jr. went head-to-head with strong opponents such as Japan, England, and Greece. But it was in the final against Croatia where he left his biggest mark — scoring two goals and showcasing his individual brilliance.

📌 Played in 4 matches
📌 Scored twice in the final
📌 Displayed technical flair that hinted at his inherited footballing DNA

🌍 A nique Talent Outside Europe
One particularly remarkable detail about Cristiano Jr.’s journey is that he’s the only player on Portugal’s U-15 roster not affiliated with a European club.
This speaks volumes about his outstanding abilities — both physically and technically — despite being geographically far from the European football system.
His football education includes stints at some of the world’s top youth academies:

🏟️ Real Madrid
⚫ Juventus
🔴 Manchester United
These experiences have enriched him with a blend of top-tier football philosophies, even at a young age.

🔴 United Makes a Move… Spurs Join the Race

Back in England, the buzz around Cristiano Jr. has already begun. Manchester United — the club where his father rose to stardom — has sent scouts to watch him play in Croatia, aiming to possibly rekindle the legacy at Old Trafford.

Tottenham Hotspur is also monitoring his development, alongside several German clubs, creating an early European race to secure the young talent — who hasn’t even turned 15 yet.

🇸🇦 A Saudi Setting That Fuels Growth

Far from European limelight, Cristiano Jr. is thriving in a fast-developing football scene in Saudi Arabia, where youth leagues and academies are becoming more structured and competitive.

Having his father beside him is a major source of support — both emotionally and technically.
Cristiano Ronaldo’s own embrace of Saudi culture — from celebrating the National Day, to performing the traditional “Ardah” dance, and wearing local attire — has had a clear influence on his son.

📸 In several public appearances, Jr. has been spotted wearing a traditional Saudi thobe — a moment that captured hearts across social media platforms.

👨‍👦 “I Want to Play with You, Dad” — A Dream Shared by Two Generations

The bond between father and son goes beyond football. In a light-hearted interview, Ronaldo shared:

“My son tells me: Dad, don’t retire just yet… I want to play with you!”

It may sound like a far-fetched dream, but it reveals the shared passion and vision between the two.

Cristiano Jr. already has a trophy to his name, having won the Saudi U-13 League with Al-Nassr, proudly wearing the same No. 7 jersey that defined his father’s legacy.

🏁 A New Chapter Begins… Will It Be Written in Madrid?
As Europe’s elite clubs continue to scout him, Cristiano Jr. seems ready to carve out his own chapter in the footballing world.
⚽ Will we witness a "New Ronaldo" rising in Real Madrid?
⚽ Will history repeat itself — this time through the son?
