MILANO, Sept 11 (Reuters) - Deutsche Borse DB1Gn.DE confirmed on Friday it had submitted an offer for Italy's Borsa Italiana, with rival offers from Swiss exchange Six and a consortium comprising France's Euronext ENX.PA and Italian state lender CDP also in the race.
"Deutsche Borse can offer a major contribution to the future growth and development of an independent Borsa Italiana", the group said in a statement.
The London Stock Exchange (LSE) LSE.L , which bought the Milan-based stock exchange in 2007 for 1.6 billion euros ($1.9 billion), is now trying to sell it as part of antitrust remedies to help get its $27 billion takeover of Refinitiv over the line.
