Cristiano Ronaldo’s eldest child, Cristiano Jnr, has completed his transfer to join his dad at Al-Nassr after signing a deal with the club’s youth team, according to reports.

The 13-year-old is embarking on a career of his own to one day hopefully match his iconic father’s achievements and has already played for academy teams at Real Madrid, Juventus and Manchester United.

He’s now looking to further his development in Saudi Arabia with Cristiano Jnr agreeing a contract with Al-Nassr’s Under-13 team, as reported by Fabrizio Romano.

Ronaldo moved his family to the Middle Eastern nation in January after his contract was terminated at Manchester United and eventually deciding to leave European football.

The teenager has made an impressive start to his career, once scoring 25 goals in eight games during his time at Juventus and will take on his dad’s iconic number seven in his new surroundings.

An agreement has been approved by all involved parties and the youngster is expected to start training with his new team-mates in the next few days.

The five-time Ballon d’Or and serial Champions League winner previously revealed his eldest son wants him to avoid retirement so they can play in a match together. 

Speaking last year, Ronaldo said: ‘My son tells me: dad, hold on a few more years, I want to play with you!’ 

However, he will have to hope his dad continues playing past the age of 40 to be in with a realistic chance of lining up next to Ronaldo who celebrates his 39th birthday in February.

Cristiano Jnr is the eldest of five children, with Ronaldo first becoming a dad at the age of just 25-years-old when his son was born in June 2010, however the mother’s identity has never been publicly revealed.

The youngster has followed his dad throughout his prestigious career, but the Man United and Real Madrid legend admitted he is putting no pressure on him to be a footballer.

‘I will never pressure him. He will do what he wants,’ Ronaldo previously explained.

‘Also what I want the most for Cristianito and everyone else is that they’re happy and that they choose what they want. I will support in any way.’
