Cristiano Ronaldo Junior is close to leaving the youth categories at Al-Nassr Club, in a surprising move that may distance him from the dream of playing alongside his father in Saudi stadiums.

British press reports have revealed that the young player is seriously considering pursuing a professional career in Europe, aiming to build his own path away from his father's shadow.

Junior, who is 15 years old, is delivering impressive performances with Al-Nassr's youth team, but he believes that the European environment might offer him greater opportunities for development and honing his talent.

The Sun newspaper reported that several major European clubs are closely monitoring the player, most notably Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, and Paris Saint-Germain.

Junior previously underwent a training period with the under-16 team at Real Madrid, taking advantage of his father's presence in Spain during a previous treatment period.

Nevertheless, Ronaldo's family remains cautious about the idea of leaving at the moment, fearing that the player might face media pressure and early comparisons that could affect his performance.

Cristiano Ronaldo holds on to the dream of playing in an official match alongside his son, a scenario that was close to happening if his son had been promoted to Al-Nassr's first team.

Junior has a promising career, having previously played in the academies of Juventus and Manchester United. He is considered one of the top talents likely to represent Portugal's youth national teams in the future.
