“You never say no, but I don’t know where those conversations will finish,” Ratcliffe said.
Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich reportedly turned down Ratcliffe’s £2billion offer for the club last summer.

Earlier this year, an Ineos spokesperson confirmed the company had expressed an interest in buying Ligue 1 club Nice.
