LONDON--British wireless giant Vodafone Group PLC said Friday it was in talks to acquire European assets from Liberty Global, John Malone's international cable company.

Vodafone, the world's second-largest mobile carrier by subscribers behind China Mobile Ltd., said it was in early-stage discussions and there was no certainty a deal would occur.

A Liberty Global spokesman declined to comment. The Financial Times reported the discussions earlier Friday.
