(Reuters) - Germany's biggest insurer Allianz is in advanced talks to buy Legal & General's home insurance business, Sky News reported on Monday.

Sky News had reported in December that Direct Line had indicated its interest in making a 400-million pound bid to buy the British life insurer's unit.

However, Monday's report said Allianz was in exclusive talks to buy the unit, which was put up for sale late last year.

L&G declined to comment when contacted by Reuters, while Allianz could not be reached.

I did COPY & PASTE for above info-as I don't want to be guilty of mis-quotes.

Reuters News, this should help sp, nothing like sections of business being sold for profits.
