“You never say no, but I don’t know where those conversations will finish,” Ratcliffe said.

The Manchester United fan, 66, bought Swiss club Lausanne through his chemical company, Ineos, in 2017.
Earlier this year, an Ineos spokesperson confirmed the company had expressed an interest in buying Ligue 1 club Nice.
