In the upcoming weeks, Mubadala, the wealth fund of Abu Dhabi, may declare its $2 billion acquisition of Fortress Investment Group from SoftBank.
Rajeev Misra, the chief executive officer of SoftBank Investment Advisers, is playing a key role in brokering the deal, the sources said, given his close ties to Abu Dhabi and knowledge of Fortress.
No final decisions have been made, and the deal could still fall apart, the report said.
To assist with the management of its Vision Fund, SoftBank purchased the US asset management company Fortress in 2017.
