Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich has been associated with Chelsea Football Club for almost 19 years. But recently, he decided to part ways with the European Champions and listed the club for sale.

Since Abramovic?s announcement, several individuals have received proposals to buy Chelsea Football Club. But apart from them, one individual has shown particular interest in buying the Blues. And he is none other than UFC legend, Conor McGregor.

Following Abramovic?s announcement, McGregor took to Twitter and expressed his desire to buy Chelsea FC from Roman.

As per reports from The Telegraph, Roman Abramovich demands a ?4bn fee for the sale of the club. Even though Conor McGregor ranked first in Forbes? 2021 list of The World’s Highest-Paid Athletes, the ?4bn asking price might be too much for the Mixed Martial Artist.

According to Celebrity Net Worth, Conor McGregor has a net worth of $200 million. Thus, it looks impossible for McGregor to buy Chelsea Football Club on his own. Maybe he can purchase the European Champions through a partnership.

Conor McGregor is a big football fan

Conor McGregor is famous as one of the best Mixed Martial Artists in the sport. But the former UFC Lightweight Champion also has a keen interest in football. Previously, he even admitted himself to be a fan of Manchester United.

McGregor also revealed his desire to buy a football club in the past. But that never happened. However, with Chelsea Football Club up for sale, McGregor looks interested once again. But the amount might prove too much for him.
