Conor McGregor has expressed an interest in buying Liverpool after it was leaked this week that the English soccer club’s owner, Fenway Sports Group (FSG), wants to sell.
“I would love it!” the UFC fighter wrote on his Twitter account, in capital letters.
Of course, a multitude of fans have quickly pounced upon the fact that last March he said he was interested in making an offer to buy Manchester United.
He has also been interested in Chelsea and Glasgow Celtic, a Scottish club with Irish roots.
McGregor claims in his tweet that “as soon” as he heard the news of Liverpool‘s sale he asked for “information about it”. “What a turn of events! What a club!” the mixed martial arts superstar said.
McGregor has confessed that as a child he supported United, although his sympathies veered towards Liverpool, as he acknowledged during the Champions League final between the Reds and Real Madrid in 2022.
However, he has been showered with critical comments reminding him that as a self-confessed United supporter he cannot buy Liverpool.
“Be in no doubt that I am contemplating the purchase of a soccer franchise in the future,” the Irishman has warned.
British publication ‘The Athletic’ revealed on Monday that FSG has expressed interest in bringing in new partners to take control of Liverpool, a club it has owned since 2010.
In response to this information, FSG, which manages MLB’s Boston Red Sox and various media outlets, noted that, “on several occasions,” it has already indicated that, “under the right terms and conditions, we would consider new partners if that would be in the best interest of Liverpool as a club.”
