DIC is working with Terry Semel, the former Yahoo and Warner boss on the planned acquisition, the UK's Sunday Times newspaper reported on Sunday.

The sports management company could cost as much as $3 billion, the newspaper said, citing people close to IMG.

IMG manages celebrities including Tiger Woods and Justin Timberlake.
