He tweeted: “I wish to explore this. @ChelseaFC.”

McGregor, who also wanted to ambitiously takeover Manchester United, added fuel to the fire with a hilarious cartoon video.

It the clip, it shows the Irishman holding a Chelsea press conference and then having a chat in a Blues tracksuit with what appears to be Abramovich.

McGregor, 33, in 2021 ranked as the highest-paid athlete in the world earning £128million, with £113m earned away from the UFC.

The famed fighter has previously spoken with Celtic’s largest individual shareholder Dermot Desmond about acquiring shares.

But when it comes to Chelsea, McGregor is left with fierce competition, including Swiss billionaire Hansjorg Wyss.

FREE BETS: GET OVER £2,000 IN NEW CUSTOMER DEALS

Wyss, 86, told Blick newspaper: “Abramovich is one of Vladimir Putin’s closest advisers and friends. Like all other oligarchs, he is also in a panic.

“Abramovich is trying to sell all his villas in England. He also wants to get rid of Chelsea quickly.

“I and three other people received an offer on Tuesday to buy Chelsea from Abramovich.”

Abramovich put Chelsea up for sale as Government sanctions threatened his fortune amid Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

He vowed to give any profits from an expected £3billion deal to the victims of the Ukraine war — but he refused to condemn the actions of tyrant crony Vladimir Putin.

The billionaire also revealed he would be writing off the £1.5billion debt Chelsea owed him.
