French reports have revealed that several European clubs are interested in signing Cristiano Ronaldo Jr., the son of Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo, who currently plays for Al-Nassr in Saudi Arabia.
According to the French network RMC, Manchester United is among the clubs interested in signing Cristiano Jr., who currently plays for Al-Nassr and has previously been part of Real Madrid’s academy. The report added that six other clubs also want to sign the young player, but joining Manchester United is considered the best option for Cristiano Jr.
The report listed the clubs keen on signing him:
Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund, RB Leipzig, Inter Milan, Juventus, and Atalanta.
Meanwhile, Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo made sure to send an emotional message of support to his eldest son, Cristiano Jr., on the occasion of his debut for Portugal’s U-15 national team during a match in the “Vlatko Marković” international tournament, held in Croatia from May 13 to 18.
Cristiano Jr., known within his family as “Junior”, made his first international appearance for Portugal against Japan, marking a new step in his football journey. He was watched closely by his grandmother, Dolores Aveiro, who has been accompanying him for days and traveled with the team to Croatia.
Although Cristiano Ronaldo couldn’t attend the match due to his professional commitments with Al-Nassr, he didn’t miss the chance to express his pride and joy. On his Instagram account, followed by over 650 million people, he wrote:
“Congratulations on your debut with Portugal, my son! So proud of you!”
The heartfelt message, full of fatherly love and encouragement, was seen by many fans as a symbolic passing of the torch to a new generation—one expected to follow in the footsteps of one of the greatest players to ever wear Portugal’s jersey.
