Yahoo is understood to
be close to joining forces with AOL to ward
off the predatory attention from Microsoft.
Under a deal being discussed Yahoo would buy back billions of dollars worth
of its own shares, receive an investment from AOL's parent Time Warner, gain
control of AOL and in return give up 20 per cent of the merged group, reports
said.
But it has also emerged that Microsoft and News Corp could launch a joint
offer for the search engine giant, which rejected a $44.6bn (£22.5bn) hostile
bid from Microsoft earlier this year.
A successful deal would combine Yahoo with Microsoft's MSN and MySpace, owned
by News Corp.
