The Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) star, Conor McGregor, has expressed interest in purchasing English Premier League club, Liverpool, after owners FGS put the Merseyside club up for sale.
The revelation about Liverpool’s future comes after an initial report from The Athletic suggesting that FSG is ‘inviting offers’ after creating a ‘full sales presentation for interested parties’.

Despite previously confirming that he is a Manchester United fan, McGregor responded to a question from a fan on social media asking if he would buy Liverpool by saying, “I WOULD LOVE IT!”
“I requested information on this, yes. Soon as I heard. What a turn of events! What a club!” the 34-year-old Irishman, who hasn’t fought since UFC 264 in July 2021, added.
McGregor has often been linked with buying a football club in the past and reiterated his desire to do so in March when he confirmed his interest in exploring potential deals for Manchester United, Chelsea or Celtic and insisting that club ownership is part of his future.
