MADRID, July 26 (Reuters) - Australian fund management firm IFM is in talks with Spanish builder OHL OHL.MC over a deal to take the latter's Mexican unit private, a source familiar with the discussions said on Tuesday.
OHL owns 56 percent of OHL Mexico OHLMEX.MX and would keep its stake at that level in the event of a buyout, the source said.
An OHL spokesman in Madrid declined to comment and a spokesman for IFM in London said the firm did not comment on speculation linked to acquisitions.
