“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.
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.
