When Will Cristiano Ronaldo Play Alongside His Son? Al Nassr Drops Big Hint

Saudi Pro League side Al Nassr has a chance at creating a unique piece of footballing history next season, if rumors are to be believed. The current league leaders are reportedly planning to promote Cristiano Ronaldo Jr. to the first team at the start of next season. The decision could potentially open up a dream scenario, which will see the club's star striker Cristiano Ronaldo play with son Cristiano Jr. on the same field.

If things transpire according to the club's supposed plans, one of the greatest footballers of all time, Cristiano Ronaldo, and Cristiano Jr could be the first-ever father-son duo to play together in football history. While many players and their sons have played the same sport, like Cesare and Paolo Maldini in the past, the move will see Cristiano Ronaldo son on the same field for the same club as his father.

Will Cristiano Ronaldo Play With Son Next Season?

Despite the reports, no official confirmation has been made by the club that suggests Cristiano Ronaldo play with his son for Al Nassr in the Saudi Pro League. The former Real Madrid icon's son is currently playing for Al Nassr U16 and was recently on the scoresheet for the youth team against Al Fayha U16.

Cristiano Ronaldo Jr. had also recently trained with Real Madrid's academy, fueling speculation that he might be joining them in Spain in a few months. If the former Manchester United icon's son was to move to Madrid, it could end the dream of Cristiano Ronaldo to make history alongside his son in Al Nassr colors.

How Are Al Nassr and Cristiano Ronaldo Performing In Saudi Pro League?

The Saudi Pro League side is in the middle of an intense title race, having recorded 76 points in 29 league games this season. The team is closely followed by Al Hilal, sitting in 2nd spot on the standings with 68 points in 28 games. Star striker Cristiano Ronaldo has led from the front for Al Alami, scoring 24 goals and creating 2 assists.

As the SPL season enters the business end, the expectation is that Al Nassr will close out the season on top and help the Portuguese star to capture his first SPL title since arriving at the club in December 2022 from the United Kingdom. Fun fact: Cristiano Ronaldo Jr.'s height is almost on par with his father, if not bigger.
