Conor McGregor has revealed he wants to buy two football clubs - after billionaire tycoon Elon Musk was sensationally linked with Liverpool.
UFC superstar McGregor announced his interest in snapping up the unnamed clubs on social media but quickly deleted the post.
He claimed that he would be willing to splash out on several League of Ireland sides.
Alongside a photo of him posing with the FAI Trophy won by Drogheda United in November, McGregor wrote: 'How much is it to buy a League of Ireland team?
'I might buy two.'
McGregor is the cousin of Drogheda forward Warren Davis. However, the club swiftly distanced themselves from 'Notorious', effectively ruling out a purchase.
In a statement posted online, the club said: 'A social media post has been brought to our attention today regarding the FAI Cup.
'Those pictured are a close relation to one of our players, who like all the other players had custody of the cup to celebrate with their families at different intervals.
'Drogheda United do not associate ourselves with the individual who made the social media post in any way, or with any unauthorised brands mentioned.'
McGregor, who is said to be worth £200million, recently appeared in court in Ireland after being accused of 'raping and battering' Nikita Hand at a Dublin hotel in 2018. He was ordered to pay over £200,000 in damages after a jury found him liable of assault.
McGregor denies the allegation and could appeal the verdict at Dublin's High Court.
His revelation comes after Musk, the owner of X, was linked with Liverpool.
Musk is the richest man in the world and is thought to be worth a jaw-dropping £340billion, making a potential Anfield swoop a mere drop in the ocean.
According to his dad Errol, Musk is keen to invest in the Premier League giants.
Speaking on Times Radio, Errol said: 'I can't comment on that, they'll raise the price!'
'Oh yes, [he wants to buy the club], but that doesn't mean he's buying it.'
Errol added: 'He would like to yes, obviously. Anybody would want to - so would I.
'His grandmother was born in Liverpool, and we have relatives in Liverpool, and we were fortunate to know quite a few of the Beatles because they grew up with some of my family.'
However, Mail Sport revealed on Wednesday that Liverpool's owners have no intention of selling up - and they have received no approach from Musk.
Indeed, FSG are understood to be uninterested in a sale.
