To obtain her number, he enlisted the help of Rod Thornley, a masseuse for Manchester United, offering to sell him his Porsche worth £60,000. Rod shared this astonishing story from 2009 in an interview with the Under The Cosh podcast, revealing that he cashed in on the deal a day later.
Rod recounted, “It was around March or April, and we all knew that he was leaving for Real Madrid at the end of the season. While watching the X Factor, he asked me, ‘Who is this girl?‘”
“It was Kimberly Wyatt from Pussycat Dolls.” He says ‘Can you get me her number?‘
“So I’m like ‘what’s in this for me? I’m getting you girls’ numbers from everywhere and I’m getting nothing out of this‘.
Ronaldo said: ‘You like my car?’ He had a Porsche Carrera convertible. When I go to Real Madrid, I’ll sell it to you for half price’. It took me about 10 minutes to get her number.”
“Sure enough, end of season comes and I say ‘Remember our deal?’ He says ‘Yeah’. I say ‘You sticking to it?’ and he says ‘Yeah’. I gave him 30 grand for a 60-grand car. Next day I sold it for 60 grand!”
Rod, who was employed by Sir Alex Ferguson, quipped, “I had the car for only one evening. I went to his residence, gave him the money, sold it for £60,000 the following day, and had an amazing holiday in the Maldives that summer.”
Additionally, Rod asserted that he assisted Ronaldo in acquiring a contact number for Dannii Minogue, a former X Factor judge.
