Others who have shown interest in Warner Bros are Paramount Skydance – backed by Oracle billionaire Larry Ellison – and Comcast.
Reportedly, Warner Bros.' board wants $30 per share for the assets.
Netflix would finance its purchase with a so-called bridge loan of tens of billions of dollars, a source told Bloomberg.
According to the sources, Comcast and Netflix are not interested in buying the cable channel Discovery Global, which may therefore be spun off if a deal is reached with any of the interested parties.
