(Reuters) -French telecom operators Orange, Iliad-owned Free and construction-to-telecoms conglomerate Bouygues are exploring a deal to carve out Patrick Drahi’s SFR, the Financial Times reported on Monday.
The deal could see the group being led by Bouygues or Iliad with rival SFR’s assets being split between the companies, FT said, citing people familiar with the matter.
Reuters could not immediately verify the report.
