Telecom Italia said to lean toward €10.8 billion Poste bid, Bloomberg News reports July 17 (Reuters) - Telecom Italia's TLIT.MI board is leaning toward endorsing Poste Italiane's PST.MI €10.8 billion ($12.35 billion) takeover offer as fair, and is unlikely to push for a higher price, Bloomberg News reported on Friday.
The board of the Italian phone company will meet on Saturday to review the bid, the report added, citing people familiar with the matter.
Reuters could not immediately verify the report.
