Vivendi has started discussions to buy Vodafone’s 44% stake in French mobile operator SFR, according to media reports.
The Financial Times reports that Vivendi is unwilling to pay more than £6bn for the stake, citing people familiar with the talks.
Vivendi chairman Jean-Bernard Levy was quoted saying last month that his group aimed ultimately to own 100% of the mobile operator. For its part, Vodafone said last year that it was looking to offload several minority investments in foreign companies in order to return money to its investors.
None of the companies responded to request for comments before the press deadline.
