  "account": "Munich - The German insurance giant Allianz is reportedly considering a potential £5 billion (about €5.8 billion) takeover of the British breakdown service AA, according to a media report. The Munich-based company is part of a select group of interested parties that have been discussing the matter with AA's consultants, Sky News reported on Saturday, citing sources. Another potential bidder is the financial investor EQT. The companies involved did not comment on the matter. Allianz, founded in 1905, is comparable to the German AA and has a similar structure. The current owners of the British AA, several financial investors, are reportedly pursuing a dual-track strategy almost throughout the entire year, with a possible sale to the London stock exchange as an alternative to a takeover. Financial Times had previously reported in the previous year that the British breakdown service was seeking a £5 billion sale and was looking for buyers.",
