Man United, Spurs & European Giants Chase Football’s Next Star as He Follows in Father’s Footsteps
The football world is already chasing the next Ronaldo – and he’s only 14 years old. Cristiano Ronaldo Jr., son of the five-time Ballon d’Or winner, has become one of the most sought-after young talents in global football after an impressive debut for Portugal’s U15 side, with The Sun reporting a staggering 16 clubs are tracking the Al-Nassr youth star.
The teenager made his international bow in style last week, helping Portugal to a 4-1 victory over Japan – a moment that prompted an emotional social media tribute from his legendary father: “Proud of you my son.” Now, Europe’s elite clubs are lining up to secure what could be football’s most valuable signature.
Manchester United appear to hold a sentimental advantage in the race. Young Ronaldo previously trained with the Red Devils’ academy during his father’s second spell at Old Trafford, even playing alongside Wayne Rooney’s son Kai. With Portuguese manager Rubén Amorim now at the helm and the club maintaining strong scouting presence at Ronaldo Jr.’s recent tournament appearances in Croatia, United’s connections run deep.
But the competition is fierce. Tottenham Hotspur are leading the Premier League chase, while Germany has emerged as a potential destination with Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund and RB Leipzig among 10 German clubs monitoring his progress. The youngster’s options extend across Europe, with former Ronaldo Sr. clubs Juventus joining Inter Milan, Atalanta and Red Bull Salzburg in the pursuit.
Like his father – who rose from Sporting CP to become one of football’s greatest – Ronaldo Jr. now faces a career-defining decision about where to develop his obvious talent. With half of Europe’s top clubs already battling for his signature, this teenage prodigy is proving the footballing apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.
