That reports that Online magazine Clap. “The managers from Germany allegedly believed that Comcast’s purchase price was too high, so the Dommermuth company probably left the negotiating table without a result,” writes Clap.
Even if that sounds like speculation, the information should come from an insider.
Interest is signaled from France
The details come from well-informed circles and have now been leaked to the editors of Clap. Clap already reported last week about another hot candidate for the Sky takeover. The French media group Canal + is said to have kept an eye on Sky Germany.
After the alleged stop in negotiations on the part of 1&1, Canal+ is the most likely new owner. Other interested parties are said to have dropped out of the negotiations early on. Among them were ProSiebenSat.1 Media SE, Deutsche Telekom and ex-Premiere boss Georg Kofler.
So far it has not leaked out at what price the US company Comcast wants to part with Sky Germany. The only thing that is clear is that Sky Deutschland has made losses in recent years and the market value has fallen from EUR 3.7 billion in 2014 to around EUR 1 billion now. Whether that’s the price Comcast is currently charging is unknown. In mid-December it was said that Comcast was about to announce a deal – but now everything is open again. It is no longer expected that an agreement will be reached this year.
