Mondadori has submitted a non-binding expression of interest to the Rcs MediaGroup board of directors for the acquisition of Rcs Libri and the additional complex of assets and activities that make up the bookshop area of the via Rizzoli group. The RCS board has made it known that it has reserved any assessment on the matter. This was announced by the two companies at the request of Consob.
Today, sources familiar with the dossier had spoken to Reuters of "expedited negotiations" adding that a possible agreement could be found in the range between 120 and 150 million euros.
If the sale were to go through, a book giant would also be born in Italy.
