Microsoft is interested in buying Saleforce

At the end of April, publications began to appear on the Web with information about the possible takeover of the cloud company Saleforce.com. At the same time, the value of the company reaches $ 46-50 billion, so the number of potential buyers is limited. One of the likely buyers of Saleforce may be Microsoft, writes Bloomberg. Now the Redmond giant is considering the possibility of buying the company, although direct negotiations have not yet been conducted.

Saleforce works with two investment banks, trying to determine the possible direction of the transaction. It is worth noting that the leadership of Saleforce opposes the sale of company assets, so that the takeover can be hostile.

However, many analysts agree that Saleforce has room for maneuver, the company is not cornered. However, if the transaction does take place, it may be the largest agreement in the entire history of the software market. So far, the largest transaction is considered the purchase of First Data Corp. for $ 27.5 billion in 2007, according to "Vesti Economy".
