The Canada Pension Plan is mulling buying a 49% stake in Atlantia SpA's (ATL.MI) South American unit, MF-Dow Jones reported, citing a person close to the matter.

An imminent deal is likely, once corporate governance accords can be reached between the current owner and the prospective minority investor, the person said.

Rome-based Atlantia is seeking to monetize part of its Autostrade Sud America unit, which owns a host of toll-road concessions in Chile, after buying out partners recently in deals that valued the business at just over EUR1.2 billion.
