Under the deal, MG owner Nanjing Auto would fold its vehicle and parts operations into Shanghai-based SAIC in exchange for a stake in SAIC, the unidentified sources told Reuters.
The news agency was told a binding agreement is expected to be signed by the end of this month after senior executives of the two companies met to work out details last week.
