MILAN, June 9 (Reuters) - Telecom Italia (TIM) (TLIT.MI) said on Friday it received two new offers for its landline grid as Italy's biggest telecoms group seeks to resolve the impasse over the sale of its main asset.
U.S. fund KKR (KKR.N) and a rival consortium comprising state lender CDP and Australian fund Macquarie (MQG.AX) separately submitted bids for Telecom Italia's network, according to a statement.
Debt-crippled TIM had sought improved offers for its most valuable asset after having assessed as not yet adequate the proposals received in May.
The antitrust problems are linked to CDP and Macquarie's owning fibre optic wholesale provider Open Fiber.
Treasury-owned CDP is the second-largest investor in TIM after France's Vivendi (VIV.PA) with a 10% stake.
