The Portuguese sports ace is said to be shopping the idea to Facebook bosses for their Facebook Watch platform, with the project potentially netting him $10 M for 13 episodes.
According to Variety, Ronaldo’s series would be produced by Religion of Sports officials, the same people behind Tom vs. Time, the Facebook Watch show featuring American football star Tom Brady, which debuted online earlier this year.
Ronaldo has yet to comment on the news, but the father-of-four already has a business relationship with chiefs at the social media giant – he is developing a scripted drama series about an all-girl soccer team for Facebook.
The star, who is reportedly engaged to model Georgina Rodriguez – the mother of his baby daughter Alana, is also working on an animated superhero series, titled Striker Force 7, inspired by his own career
Ronaldo currently has a little downtime to focus on his media projects after Portugal was knocked out of the World Cup by Uruguay last Saturday.
Meanwhile, he is expected to be announcing his next club deal in the coming days, amid reports suggesting he is leaving Spain’s Real Madrid to join Italian side Juventus.
