Wayne Lineker has opened up on the spending habits of sports stars at his famous Ibiza club and revealed the two individuals who splashed the most cash.
Lineker, brother of Match of the Day host and former England star Gary, owns several bars and restaurants across Europe.
However, he is best known for the Ocean Beach club in Ibiza, which is the highest-profile venue of his.
Ocean Beach is a well-known jaunt for several celebrities and sports people and is viewed by many as the go to venue on the party island.
The likes of Jack Grealish went there to continue celebrating after Man City won the Treble in 2023 and Lineker recently jokingly opened up the prospect of a four-week loan deal for the winger after he missed out on England’s Euro 2024 squad.

However, contrary to popular belief, Grealish is not the biggest spender at the venue, with Lineker revealing the two sports stars who spent more.
In fact, UFC star Conor McGregor and YouTuber-turned-boxer KSI are the individuals who splashed the most cash, with Lineker opening up on what it was like to host the pair.
‘I had sorted everything out for KSI. Made sure he was on the owner’s table – it’s the best spot,’ he told the Let Me Land podcast in February.
‘And, because they’ve got the boat with 100 bottles of champagne on, that was all going to the table. They did it right. But yeah, KSI was probably, as far as celebrities go, the biggest party.
‘We have other people that just go crazy and spend a lot of money.
‘Obviously, Conor McGregor… he parties! When he walks in it’s just a parade. He’s got all his security with him.’
It is believed that KSI spent £51,000 on 600 bottles of champagne during his trip to Ocean beach in June 2023.
Meanwhile, McGregor made his infamous visit in 2022 for his 34th birthday alongside family and friends, with the Irishman even getting into an argument with a fellow partygoer who threw a hat at him.

It comes as several footballers are preparing to flock to the party island this summer.
For example, Andy Carroll recently joined Newcastle back-up goalkeeper Mark Gillespie on a wild stag do in Ibiza, where they bumped into a bizarre collection of random footballers, including Sandro Tonali, Pepe Reina and Atletico Madrid captain Koke.
They were also joined by another current Magpies star in Elliot Anderson, Paul Dummett, who is leaving the club this summer, and Preston midfielder Brad Potts.
Meanwhile, incoming Liverpool boss Arne Slot has been seen relaxing on holiday with his family in a five-star Ibiza hotel as the former Feyenoord manager prepares to replace Jurgen Klopp at Anfield.
