Lebron James is one of the greatest athletes of all time and one of the greats of the NBA. The basketball star continues to shine despite being 39 years old and turning 40 later this year. The NBA Draft caused lots of debate as his son, Bronny James, was drafted by the LA Lakers for the next season. LeBron James and Bronny James will be teammates next season, which is a huge dream for the two of them. The father-son duo will be exciting for many basketball fans to see. The same could happen in football as Cristiano Ronaldo dreams of playing with his son Cristiano Ronaldo Jr. Ronaldo's son recently turned 14, while Ronaldo turned 39 in February. This dream may be very difficult to achieve because no one is sure how long Ronaldo will continue to play professional football despite showcasing his goal-scoring ability this past season with Al Nassr. Ronaldo Jr. knows he will have to train hard to be called up for the first team of Al Nassr or for the next club where CR7 will play. Ronaldo Jr. Is training intensively so far in the summer, and he is working to play at least a professional match with his father in the future.

No one expected LeBron James to play with his son. His son is currently 19 years old and is at a great age to play with his father for one full season. In Ronaldo's case, his son needs to be at least 16 years old to start competing with the first team, which is two years away. Lamine Yamal is currently 16 years old and shining with the Spanish national team and is a star for FC Barcelona. It wouldn't be impossible to play first-team football at that age, but the concern is his father, who will turn 40 next year.

Ronaldo's contract with Al Nassr expires in the summer of 2025. The Saudi Arabian club is very satisfied with his performances this past season, as he was the top goalscorer of the team and of the league at 39 years old. Rumors suggest that they will offer him a one-year contract extension after 2025. Ronaldo is motivated enough to play in the 2026 World Cup, which is two years away. The Portuguese striker has reportedly told his teammates that his goal is to make the 2026 World Cup, which makes the possibility of playing with his son a reality.

Cristiano Ronaldo not playing another EURO

After the match against Slovenia in EURO 2024, Ronaldo made it clear that this would be his last EUROS of his career, as the next one will be in 2028. Ronaldo said, "It's definitely the last euro, of course. But I wasn't affected by that, I was affected by everything football entails, the enthusiasm I have for the game, the enthusiasm I see from the fans, my family here, the passion of the people, the affection they have for me, my teammates themselves. Not because I'm leaving football." Ronaldo is still open to play in the 2026 World Cup in the United States.
