Ronaldo Jr wants LeBron James and Bronny James moment with superstar dad

talksport.com, 10 December 2024, 10:52
Cristiano Ronaldo Jr says he hopes to play alongside his father before the Portuguese legend hangs up his boots.

The Al-Nassr star is in the twilight of his sensational career and has recently hinted that retirement might not be far away.

Ronaldo has planned for life after football with multiple successful business adventures and more recently, the launch of his new YouTube channel titled 'UR Cristiano.'

The 39-year-old has broken records since launching the channel in August and his recent collaboration with YouTube star MrBeast garnered a staggering 53 million views.

The pair dropped another video together on Monday but this time they brought in budding talent Cristiano Jr for a chat on the couch.

MrBeast asked Cristiano Ronaldo Jr if there is a possibility of recreating a father-son duo similar to that of NBA star LeBron James and son Bronny.

The pair became the first father-son partnership to play in the NBA when they took to the court for the LA Lakers in October.

Cristiano Jr quickly replied, 'Inshallah' (God willing in Arabic) before saying 'hopefully' in English.

The 14-year-old knows he doesn't have too much time left to achieve his dream but is in the right place at Al-Nassr's academy, to propel himself into the first-team picture alongside his father.

And it appears that Jr's dream is also shared by Ronaldo who is reportedly keen on a future link-up with his eldest son.

The Ronaldo's could even strike up a partnership in attack with Cristiano Jr emulating his father's favoured position of forward.

The teenager, who dons Ronaldo's famous No.7 shirt, was formally a part of Manchester United's academy during his dad's ill-fated second spell at Old Trafford.

The gifted starlet has shown himself to be a dab hand despite his tender years after wowing fans with his ability particularly from dead-ball situations.

His goal for Al Nassr against Ohod in a 4-1 in February captured the attention of millions and helped his side claim the Saudi U13 Premier League title with three games to spare.

Videos of his skills have gone viral across social media on occasions leaving fans dreaming of him continuing the Ronaldo name long after his father has hung up his boots.

The five-time Ballon d'Or winner has never insisted on his son following in his footsteps in the football world.

"I will never pressure him. He will do what he wants," the Portugal forward said in 2022.

"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."

Meanwhile, Ronaldo continues to nudge his way towards an unprecedented 1,000 goals in football following his strike in Friday's 2-1 reverse against Al-Ittihad.

The defeat leaves Al-Nassr in fourth place and more significantly, a whopping 12 points adrift of Friday's opponents who sit top of the table.

Failure to bridge the gap at the top could see Ronaldo's time in Saudi Arabia end with a whimper and without a league title.

The forward who signed for the club in January 2023, is out of contract next summer with no indication yet on what lies ahead beyond the current campaign.
