The statement comes after reports claimed Ratcliffe made a 77million bid for Nice in February, though the offer was rejected by the club’s owner Chien Lee, the Chinese-American investor who also owns League One’s Barnsley.He is understood to value Nice, who currently sit eighth in Ligue 1, at closer to 100million.“INEOS confirms that it has expressed an interest in the club and has had exploratory discussions but can say nothing more at this stage,” a spokesperson said. Ratcliffe, who formed INEOS in 1998, has recently started investing in sport.He bough Swiss football team Lausanne in 2017, invested 110million in a British challenge for the America’s Cup with Sir Ben Ainslie last year and then last month bought cycling’s Team Sky and rebranded them as Team Ineos.
