Despite Being a Manchester United Fan, $200M Worth Conor McGregor Is Interested in $4Bn Liverpool FC Bid

Conor McGregor, the former UFC two-division champion, has recently expressed his interest in buying one of the biggest English Premier League clubs, Liverpool FC, on social media.

The football club is currently facing a rough patch. The club’s American owners are searching for investors as a result. Fenway Sports Group (FSG), which paid £300 million for Liverpool in 2010, is considering asking $4 billion to sell Liverpool FC.

Amidst the decision, the former featherweight and lightweight UFC champion, Conor McGregor showed his interest in the offer. The Irishman, when asked about buying the club by a fan, said, “I WOULD LOVE IT! I requested my information on this, yes. Soon as I heard. What a turn of events! What a club!” on his official Twitter account and also tagged the page of Liverpool FC.
