Todd Boehly’s Eldridge Industries is among final bidders in talks to acquire European private credit firm Hayfin Capital Management, according to people with knowledge of the matter.

A deal could value London-based Hayfin, which manages about €31 billion ($33 billion) of assets, at over €1.2 billion, the people said, asking not to be identified because the information is private. Talks with multiple parties are ongoing and may not ultimately lead to a deal, the people said.
