Cristiano Ronaldo's son, Cristiano Ronaldo Jr., could reportedly be eligible to play for Mexico due to a possible connection to the North American country from his biological mother's side.
Her identity is unknown, but as per YouTuber Kery Ruiz, via his channel Kery!News (h/t El Futbolero), she could be a Mexican migrant. Ronaldo apparently met her in California, which could supplement this theory.
Secondly, Cristiano Ronaldo Jr. sported the jersey of the Mexican national team in one of the scenes in Georgina Rodriguez's documentary 'I Am Georgina'. If his biological mother does have ancestral links with Mexico, there's a chance that the Portugal icon's son could be eligible to play for El Tri.
The 12-year-old has played for the junior teams at Real Madrid, Juventus and Manchester United. There's still a long way to go before he can think about potentially having to choose who he wants to represent at the international level.
Mexico, however, do not boast as many established world-class players as Portugal, at least on paper. If the situation remains the same in the coming years, Ronaldo Jr. could find it easier to break into Mexico's national team compared to A Selecao.
Cristiano Ronaldo Jr.'s father is a living legend for Portugal, whom he captained to UEFA Euro 2016 glory and the 2019 UEFA Nations League.
Cristiano Ronaldo 'surprised' by Saudi Pro League
Cristiano Ronaldo's January move to Al-Nassr was seen by many as a step down for the five-time Ballon d'Or winner.
The 38-year-old reportedly tried to join a number of clubs playing in the UEFA Champions League last year but to no avail. He eventually signed a two-and-a-half-year contract as a player for the Saudi Pro League team.
Ronaldo has admitted that the Saudi first division isn't as competitive as the Premier League, but it has left him positively surprised. He said (h/t GiveMeSport):
"Obviously, it's not like the Premier League, I'd be lying if I said it was, but it's competitive. I'm surprised by the strength. It has good teams, it is balanced, the Arab players are good, the foreigners give quality."
Ronaldo failed to score in his first two games across competitions for Al-Nassr after joining them in January. The three-time Premier League winner has since scored nine goals and provided two assists in eight appearances across competitions for his new club.
The Saudi Pro League may not boast as many superstars as a major European league would. They still, however, have high-quality players such as Moussa Marega, Anderson Talisca, David Ospina, Cristian Tello and Ever Banega playing in the league.
