PARIS (Reuters) - Le Monde investor Matthieu Pigasse, who heads the Lazard investment bank in France, is in talks with Czech investor Daniel Kretinsky to sell him 40-49 percent of his shares in the French daily, Le Monde wrote on its website on Wednesday.
Pigasse has, jointly with French telecoms entrepreneur Xavier Niel, a controlling stake in Le Monde.
Le Monde says that Pigasse confirmed the information but that the newspaper were not able to reach Kretinsky or Niel for comment.
