Spanish construction tycoon Florentino Perez is working with two investment funds on a potential offer for Italian infrastructure company Atlantia SpA, in what would be one of the biggest takeovers of the year. 

Actividades de Construccion y Servicios SA, the Madrid-based builder of which Perez is both chairman and the top shareholder, has an exclusive agreement with Global Infrastructure Partners and Brookfield Asset Management Inc. in which it would acquire the majority of Atlantia’s toll-road business, ACS said in a regulatory filing. No final decisions have yet been made, ACS said.
