Cristiano Ronaldo’s oldest son has received his first call-up to the Portugal Under-15s squad. The 14-year-old Cristiano Ronaldo Jr is with Al-Nassr in Saudi Arabia, where his father joined the club in December 2022.

Ronaldo, now 40, shared a photo on social media showing his son’s name on the national team roster with the caption, “Proud of you, son.”

Ronaldo Jr has been selected for a youth tournament in Croatia from May 13 to 18, where Portugal will face Japan, Greece, and England.

Ronaldo Sr, a five-time Ballon d’Or winner, remains a Portugal international and has netted 136 goals for his country, setting a world record in men’s football.

The 40-year-old captain led Portugal to their first major title at Euro 2016, although he had to sadly observe most of the final from the sidelines due to an injury he sustained in the 25th minute. He also guided Portugal to victory in the Nations League in 2019.

In March, Ronaldo scored and missed a penalty as Portugal dramatically defeated Denmark to secure a spot in the Nations League semi-finals.

The former Manchester United player has four other children: twins Eva and Mateo, both 7, Alana Martina, 7, and Bella, 3.

Ronaldo Jr.’s youth career has progressed alongside his father’s global journey. He has attended the academies at Real Madrid, Juventus, Manchester United, and Al-Nassr. Reports indicate that he scored 58 goals in one season while at Juventus.

He played with Kai Rooney, Wayne Rooney’s son, in the Manchester United youth team during Ronaldo Sr’s second tenure at Old Trafford.

Videos of the teenager performing Ronaldo Sr’s famous ‘Siu’ celebration have gained popularity while playing for Al-Nassr.

While he has been selected for Portugal’s under-15 team for the upcoming tournament, Ronaldo Jr is also eligible to represent the United States, his birthplace, or Spain due to residency during his father’s time at Real Madrid.

Cristiano Ronaldo remains one of the biggest names in world football. And one day, Wrexham may even be linked with players of his calibre.

Wrexham are on the up. Three promotions in a row has them readying for a Championship campaign and there’s nothing to suggest that the Dragons won’t, one day soon, be playing in the Premier League.

In fact, Ryan Reynolds’ Premier League prediction for Wrexham – top flight football in 10 years – could very well come true. From there the club would just keep on pushing and then we might see some top, top names moving to the Racecourse.

Even now, names like Steven Fletcher would never have signed for Wrexham beforehand. And following Wrexham’s promotion to the Championship we’re now seeing names like 38-cap Republic of Ireland international Callum Robinson linked with a summer move to Wrexham.

Wrexham warned about marquee signings with Cristiano Ronaldo example

Speaking to Leader Live comedian and Welsh football fanatic Elis James has been speaking about Wrexham and what they might do in this upcoming summer transfer window. Last January Wrexham broke their transfer record to sign Sam Smith for £2million and fans are expecting more money to be spent this summer.

But James has warned the club about marquee signings. He says: “The idea of a marquee signing like Cristiano Ronaldo would be incredible for the social media profile of the club, but the costs involved would be utterly insane and I’m sure there’s far more sensible ways of spending their money.

“Because they’re Hollywood stars with amazing wealth, when you see the stories in the press about potential superstar signings from bigger clubs, there could always be a kernel of truth in it. I personally don’t think that’s the way to go for them, though. Phil Parkinson is doing a great job so surely they’ll keep doing what they’re doing.”

What Phil Parkinson has already said about Wrexham’s summer transfer plans

Ronaldo or some other worldwide footballing superstar arriving at Wrexham this summer would be amazing for the publicity of the club. But whether or not it would help to have a 40-year-old Ronaldo in the squad, for example, remains to be seen.

And Parkinson has already shared Wrexham’s plans for the summer transfer window, in which he ruled out signings any ‘superstars’.

He said: “No superstars, no egos in the dressing room and we’ve got to try and get that balance right again where you always need extra quality when you go up a a level, but make sure that they are the right people coming into the building.”

It’s a method that’s worked for Wrexham so far and it’s one that could easily work again. But there definitely needs to be a step up in terms of quality of players being signed this summer, or Wrexham could be rushed back down to League One.

Nigerian music superstar Davido sparked laughter across social media during the dramatic Inter vs. Barcelona Champions League semi-final on Tuesday, May 6, 2025, with a hilarious story about his unforgettable football heartbreak, all thanks to Harry Maguire.

As the tension in the game soared, Davido tweeted, “Football ehn fit give person BP … I remember when CR7 personally invite me come watch match for Old Trafford then couple years ago … He don book dinner ALL! Party chillin etc …. Nah so dem go lose match .. BABA VEX GO HOUSE .. since that day I still never forgive Maguire.”

The Afrobeat icon revealed that Cristiano Ronaldo had once invited him to a Manchester United match at Old Trafford, complete with a full post-match celebration plan, including dinner and partying. But things didn’t quite go as expected.

Instead of a night of football glory and good vibes, Davido watched Ronaldo’s United lose the match, which apparently sent the Portuguese legend into silence and straight back home.

The mood shift was so intense that Davido jokingly claims he’s still holding a grudge, not against Ronaldo, but against Harry Maguire.

Tom Brady is arguably one of the most influential figures in sports in recent years, joining a select group of all-time greats that includes Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. When the former Patriots QB was asked who he considers the true GOAT between the two global icons, his response caught fans and pundits alike by surprise.

During a recent appearance on Jake Paul’s YouTube channel Impaulsive, the multiple-time Super Bowl champion was asked to name the greatest athlete of all time in various sports. But when it came time to choose between Inter Miami’s and Al Nassr’s stars as soccer’s GOAT, Brady chose not to take sides.

“Messi or Ronaldo?” the former QB was asked. “Messi or Ronaldo? God, that’s hard. That’s hard. I’m not even answering that question. I like them both too much. I like them both too much.”

However, when it came to picking GOATs in other sports, Brady had a much easier time. In Formula 1, he went with Lewis Hamilton; for WWE, he named Hulk Hogan; and, with a laugh, he called Rob Gronkowski the biggest partier in NFL history.

Brady also shared his thoughts on Shedeur Sanders’ situation

Tom Brady is undoubtedly one of the most iconic figures in the NFL in recent years, and his opinion carries significant weight. As a minority owner of the Las Vegas Raiders, it made sense for him to also weigh in on what happened with Shedeur Sanders in the recent Draft.

“It’s a good question,” the former Patriots QB stated when asked why he thinks Shedeur felt to pick number 144. “I wasn’t a part of any evaluation process.”

He also added: “I actually texted Shedeur because I know him very well, and I said, ‘Dude, like, whatever happens, wherever you go, like, that’s your first day. Day two matters more than the draft. I was [pick] 199. So, who could speak on it better than me, like, what that really means? Use it as motivation. You’re gonna get your chances. Go take advantage of it.”

Despite what happened with the former Buffaloes quarterback, Brady shared the message he had for his fellow QB looking ahead: “Use it as motivation. Wherever you end up going, it’s about your performance. What do you do when you get there?”
