CR7 bombshell in Dortmund: are BVB signing Ronaldo's son? | OneFootball

His name is a heavy burden. Cristiano Ronaldo Jr. is likely one of the most closely watched young players in world football. At the moment, the 15-year-old is playing for Al-Nassr in Saudi Arabia, just like his father. But numerous top clubs have already set their sights on the winger.

According to information from TransferFeed, Borussia Dortmund are in the race for Ronaldo Jr. However, the Portugal U16 international is attracting interest from all over Europe. His résumé is impressive: before moving to the desert, the youngster received his football education at Juventus and Manchester United.

According to the report, the list of clubs chasing Ronaldo’s son is getting longer and longer. Paris Saint-Germain are said to be the latest interested party. In March, he even trained with PSG’s U16 team while his father was recovering from an injury in Spain. Alongside heavyweights such as Bayern Munich, Real Madrid and Inter Milan, Tottenham, RB Leipzig, BVB, as well as his former clubs in Turin and Manchester, are also showing interest.

In the same team as his father?

A move back to Europe does not seem unlikely at this stage. While the talent himself is looking for the next step in his career, those around him see a change of scenery as an opportunity to escape his father’s enormous shadow.

According to Globo, however, Real Madrid are in pole position in the race for Ronaldo Jr. But Al-Nassr’s decision-makers are planning for the long term with the talent and are hoping for a competitive appearance alongside his father. This historic pairing is also considered one of the final major career wishes of the 41-year-old superstar.

So far, the teenager has made ten appearances for Portugal’s U15 and U16 national teams. In the process, the winger, who is mainly at home on the left flank, has scored three goals. The junior therefore prefers the same position in which his father celebrated his greatest successes.
