Ronaldo Jr made his debut for the Portugal U15 side earlier this week under the watchful gaze of his father.
“Proud of you my son,” Ronaldo wrote on his social media after the 14-year-old turned out for his country for the first time in a 4-1 victory over Japan.
Now the budding young star is about to take the next major step in his career when he picks his next club – and he is not short of options.
There are 16 teams following Ronaldo Jr, according to a report from The Sun.
Who wants to sign Cristiano Ronaldo Jr?
Manchester United have a scout following the youngster during Vlatko International Tournament in Croatia, with the Old Trafford side having something of an advantage in the race due to the teenager having already featured with them during Cristiano Sr’s previous stint at the club. He played alongside Wayne Rooney’s son Kai during that time.
Indeed, there is a strong Portuguese influence at the Red Devils currently with Ruben Amorim in charge. No doubt this is a more favourable environment to Cristiano Ronaldo than the one he left after falling out with Erik ten Hag.
But it is far from just Man Utd who are following the young star, who, like his dad, currently plays for Al-Nassr.
Elsewhere in the Premier League, Tottenham Hotspur are targeting Cristiano Jr, while no fewer than 10 German clubs, including Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund and RB Leipzig had him watched.
On top of this, there is interest from Inter, Atalanta, Red Bull Salzburg and another of Cristiano Ronaldo’s former clubs Juventus all following the eye-catching youngster.
