Conor McGregor interested in buying Chelsea? He made an offer on Twitter
According to media reports, they are the first to buy a London club. The loudest was about interest. The famous player on social media made it clear that he was interested in buying the club. He wrote that he would “investigate the topic”. Now he has made a specific proposal on his Twitter account. “I hereby present my offer of £ 1.5 billion,” wrote the Irishman.

The president of AB Group, a powerful construction company, told the Turkish media the following message: “We are discussing the terms of Chelsea’s purchase with Abramovich’s lawyers. We are negotiating signatures. Soon we will fly the Turkish flag in London.”
