CONOR MCGREGOR revealed that he is serious in trying to purchase Chelsea Football Club.
The MMA star tweeted earlier this week that he had put forward a PS1.5billion offer for West London.
McGregor expressed his interest in buying a football team
.
McGregor's proposal was viewed as insincere by many, given his social media bravado.
The Irishman now confirms that he is interested in buying Chelsea from Roman Abramovich.
He also offered to buy future Manchester United and Celtic tickets.
McGregor responded to speculations about whether or not McGregor will attempt to buy Chelsea. As I stated, I am looking into this.
"Celtic, Manchester United, and the newly up for sale Chelsea football team are all from Dermot Desmond. All being explored.
"A football franchise purchase will be in my future, make no mistake about that."
McGregor's PS1.5bn offer is believed to be an attempt to get the PS3bn Abramovich wants.
But, the UFC man may have offered a formal invitation that is more than he claims on social media.
Sky reports that McGregor's management firm Paradigm Sports works closely with McGregor Sports & Entertainment & Empowerment IP Capital, which is led by Stephen Duval, a sports financier.
McGregor's group is also reported to be in talks with an asset management company that has global reach. They could offer financial backing to help finance this deal.
There are many bidders who might be interested in purchasing Chelsea from Abramovich.
One businessman, Billy Beane, a moneyball genius, is looking to make a move for the club in a corporation.
Michael Rubin, the owner of Fanatics sports merchandise company, is believed to be interested in bidding on behalf of the club.
It was also reported that Todd Boehly is part-owner of both the Los Angeles Dodgers' and the LA Lakers' Los Angeles Lakers. He is currently liaising over a possible bid with Hansjorg Wyss, a Swiss billionaire.
According to reports, Abramovich flew in a private jet to Turkey earlier this week to discuss possible sales with Muhsin Bayrak, a billionaire from Turkey.
BETTING SPECIAL - GET CITY AT 25/1 OR UNITED AT 100/1The luxury 2019 Gulfstream G650ER luxury aircraft, valued at PS48.7 million, flew from Moscow to Istanbul and then headed for Ankara, the Turkish capital.
Bayrak claimed that he was involved in negotiations with Abramovich to buy the Premier League club. He insists that he is currently in the 'negotiating phase for the signatures'.
SunSport revealed that Abramovich could have purchased Arsenal before purchasing Chelsea, but was incorrectly informed that the Gunners weren't for sale.
