Google Inc has spoken to at least two private equity firms about possibly helping them finance a deal to buy Yahoo Inc's core business, The Wall Street Journal reported on Saturday, citing a person familiar with the matter.
Google and prospective partners have held preliminary discussions but have not come up with a formal proposal, and Google may end up deciding not to pursue a bid, the source said.
It is not clear which private equity firms Google has spoken to, the WSJ said.
Any potential deal between the two biggest Internet companies would likely arouse antitrust scrutiny.Representatives of Google could not immediately be reached for comment.
Google is interested in selling some advertising across Yahoo's websites, the Journal said, citing people familiar with the matter.
