Ronaldo's Son on Verge of Al-Nassr First-Team Promotion
Ronaldo's Son on Verge of Al-Nassr First-Team Promotion

Al-Nassr are reportedly considering promoting Cristiano Ronaldo's son, Cristiano Jr, to the first team next season, potentially allowing the father-son duo to play together professionally.

The 15-year-old striker is currently on Al-Nassr's books and will turn 16 in June, the minimum age to play in the Saudi Pro League. He has previously spent time at Real Madrid's academy and played for Portugal's under-17 side, helping them win the World Cup in 2025.

Ronaldo, 41, has expressed a desire to share a pitch with his son before retiring, but emphasised it is not an obsession. "I would like it," he said last year. "It's more in his hands than mine."

The five-time Ballon d'Or winner is contracted to Al-Nassr until the end of next season, making the timing ideal for a potential debut. Meanwhile, Al-Nassr lead the Saudi league by eight points with five games remaining, aiming to secure their first title since Ronaldo's arrival.
