According to LSA, Carrefour and Casino are fighting over the takeover of Dia's French subsidiary.
An announcement concerning the takeover of the 841 shops with €2.2 billion annual sales could be made in June.
The two retailers have apparently offered between €150-200 million. LSA believes that Casino would be the natural candidate, but it does not mean that Carrefour does not have a chance either. Carrefour split from Dia three years ago, but has since changed bosses and strategy.
