Cristiano Ronaldo Jr. Now: Rising Star in the Making

At 14 years old, Cristiano Ronaldo Jr. (often called Cristianinho) has earned his first call-up to the Portugal Under‑15 national team for the Vlatko Marković Tournament in Croatia. Despite training at Al‑Nassr in Saudi Arabia, he’s selected ahead of many European-based talents.

Club Development: From Juventus to Mahd Academy

Cristiano Jr. began his youth journey at Juventus, tallying an astonishing 58 goals and 18 assists in 28 games during his first season with their under‑9 side. He later joined Manchester United’s academy before moving to Saudi Arabia’s Mahd Sports Academy, where he currently trains two years above his age group.

International Debut & Impact

During his debut for Portugal U‑15, Ronaldo Jr. came on as a winger (wearing his father’s iconic No. 7) and helped secure a 4‑1 win over Japan. He also scored a brace in the final, contributing two goals in Portugal’s 3‑2 victory, and ending the tournament as a top scorer.

Early Match Heroics in Saudi Youth Leagues

Ronaldo Jr’s youth league performance in Saudi Arabia is equally stellar. In just two matches, he scored a jaw-dropping 17 goals, including 10 goals in one match, then 7 in the next—gestures that instantly caught the football world’s attention.

Interest from Elite European Clubs

Following his performances, over 16 top clubs—such as Manchester United, Tottenham, Real Madrid, Juventus, Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund, and others—are reportedly monitoring his progress closely.

Training & Discipline: Following Dad’s Legacy

Cristiano Jr follows a rigorous training routine reminiscent of his father’s: early sessions focused on agility, endurance, and technique. His diet mirrors CR7’s discipline—avoiding sugary drinks and junk food. Training alongside his legendary father at Al‑Nassr provides valuable mentorship and high-level motivation.

Education & Personality

Despite frequent moves, Cristiano Jr attends elite schools (e.g., The Ryleys in the UK), balancing academics with football training. Described as competitive, confident, and mature beyond his years, he mimics signature celebrations like his father’s famous “siuuu” moment.

Social Media & Brand Growth

As his football reputation grows, so does his personal brand. Ronaldo Jr. has secured a Nike sponsorship, and he’s rumored to be in talks with other brands. With nearly 1 million Instagram followers and hundreds of thousands on TikTok, he’s building momentum off the pitch too.

Future Outlook

• Club potential: A move to one of Europe’s elite clubs could be imminent once he’s older.
• International trajectory: His debut suggests he is likely to stick with Portugal’s national team long term.
• Father-son milestones: Cristiano Ronaldo Sr. has expressed hope of one day playing a match alongside his son—even if only in a friendly.
