Orix Corp. (8591.TO, IX) and Macquarie Group Ltd. (MQG.AU) are the leading candidates to buy Rabobank's (RBK.YY) Robeco NV (ROBA.AE) unit, Reuters reported Monday, citing two people familiar with the matter.

Rabobank still may seek another buyer, the people told Reuters. A team of Affiliated Managers Group Inc. (AMG) and Permira (PR.YY) placed a bid and still may be a contender, the people told Reuters.

Robeco is expected to be sold for more than 2 billion euros ($2.59 billion), Reuters reported.
