After leaving Manchester United Cristiano Ronaldo went to the Saudi Pro League and joined forces with Al Nassr for a 75 million dollar deal. His son, Cristiano Ronaldo Jr. was a part of Real Madrid’s youth team when his father was a part of the club. He then joined Juventus for the two years Cristiano Ronaldo played there and then he became a part of Manchester United’s academy when CR7 made a return to the club.
