However, the potential suitors have not reached a final decision, the report said.
The stake held by Carlo Tassara amounts to nearly PLN 1.43bn ($390m).
Carlo Tassara is looking to sell assets to reduce debt and is seeking a strategic investor for Alior Bank since the bank’s PLN 2.1bn initial public offering in 2012. Poland’s financial supervisor had extended the deadline for the sale to June 2016 last year.
