Cristiano Ronaldo Jr Trains with Real Madrid Ahead of Move

Cristiano Ronaldo Jr., 15, trained with Real Madrid's U16 team amid Middle East uncertainty and aims to join the club's youth system, sources said.

  • On Tuesday, 15-year-old Cristiano Ronaldo Jr. trained with Real Madrid's 'Cadete A' — or U16 — side, offering an early glimpse into the next chapter of his football progression.
  • Real Madrid opened its doors to Ronaldo Jr. during this period of uncertainty in the Middle East, while his father, Cristiano Ronaldo, recovers from an injury described as 'more serious' than first thought.
  • Operating primarily as a striker, Ronaldo Jr. has developed at Manchester United and Juventus; despite being born in the United States, he has committed to representing Portugal at the youth level.
  • Despite the opportunity to train, it remains too early to know if this could lead to a permanent academy signing, as some reports on Ronaldo Jr.'s recent performance are 'not positive'.
  • Cristiano Ronaldo remains Real Madrid's all-time leading goalscorer with 438 appearances for 'Los Blancos,' and the 41-year-old looks set to play in his sixth FIFA World Cup later in June.
