However, at 38 years old, the former Manchester United and Real Madrid star could be forced to hang up his boots when his body starts struggling to match up with the intensity of the game.

According to transfer market expert, Fabrizio Romano, Cristiano Jr. has signed the deal and will wear the number 7 jersey.

"My son tells me, 'Dad hold on a few more years - I want to play with you'" Ronaldo said, as quoted by The Sun.
"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."

Ronaldo has been in fine form in 2023, scoring 40 goals so far this year as he surpassed the likes of Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland.
