Soccer star Cristiano Ronaldo could soon be the subject of his own reality show -- on Facebook.
Variety reports discussions are underway for a 13-episode series on Facebook Watch based on the Portuguese icon's life.
Ronaldo has more than 120 million followers on his Facebook page, making him the social media giant's most popular athletes. Variety reports Ronaldo could make up to $10 million for participating in the series.
Ronaldo is considered one of the two or three best players in the world. Even so, Portugal was eliminated from the World Cup by Uruguay in the Round of 16.
Facebook has made several forays into the world of sports on Facebook Watch, its video programming arm -- including "Ball in the Family," a series based on the lives of basketball dad LaVar Ball and his sons, and "Tom vs. Time," a show that follows the New England Patriots quarterback on and off the field.
