Cristiano Ronaldo Playing at the 2016 Olympics? Real Madrid Star Among Over Age 23 Players Considered

Cristiano Ronaldo could play for Portugal in the coming 2016 Olympics. The Real Madrid star is being considered to join the age over 23 players.

According to Daily Mail, Ronaldo is among those who are being considered to play for the 2016 Olympics. The Portugal Football Association would likely include the Real Madrid star in the over-23 players.

Olympic rules permit a team to take in three overage players. This means that being a 30-year-old, Ronaldo could still be part of the Euro 2016 which will happen from June 10 to July 10. However, the deal is not yet confirmed and remains under consideration, says FPF chief Fernando Gomes.

"It is a possibility. We can bring three players aged over 23. Cristiano is one of those being considered, but we have not yet sat down to discuss it," Gomes said.

ESPN FC Asia reported that should Ronaldo be considered part of the Portugal team, this means that the football player needs to travel to Brazil. The question is whether he will be able to manage his already busy schedule which was hampered by some injury issues.

If Ronaldo ended up participating in the Olympics this would mean that the player would miss the preseason tour of Real Madrid. If Team Portugal reaches the finals, he would miss the opening of 2016-2017 La Liga season.

So in the end, it seems like the player needs to decide where he will be participating. It's still a long road till the Olympics and nothing has been finalized. There are no comments from Ronaldo's camp as all remains under consideration.

Meanwhile, Ronaldo is on holiday and away from the spotlight. He was spotted on a beach in the Bahamas with his 5-year-old boy while playing football. This comes after cheating rumors of him resurfaced after his split from model and long-time girlfriend Irina Shayk.

His former ladylove gave a couple of hints that the football superstar cheated on her. Irina who is currently dating Bradley Cooper, said that her rule when it comes to relationships is that both should be faithful to each other.

"Of course I prefer to be with someone, but with the right someone. It's very simple. You have to be faithful to your other half and not have secrets. That's my rule. He's got to be kind, amusing and honest and he's got to know how to treat a woman. And he's also got to be faithful," the model said.
