Cristiano Ronaldo Junior to join football academy in Saudi Arabia

Cristiano Ronaldo Junior, the son of Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo, will be joining Mahd Football Academy in Saudi Arabia following his father’s recent move to Al-Nassr.

Recall that 37-year-old Ronaldo recently signed for Saudi side Al-Nassr in a mouth-watering that saw him become the highest-paid sportsman in the World.

Before the family’s recent relocation to the Middle East country, Ronaldo Junior spent two years in Juventus’ academy system while his father was playing in Italy. He most recently wore the No. 7 shirt as a prospect with Manchester United and was also featured in Real Madrid’s youth team.

The youngster who was recently spotted pulling off his father’s iconic ‘siuuu’ celebration after scoring in an Under-12s tournament for the Red Devils, has left United too and will now play at an academy level in Saudi Arabia.
