Yahoo is not looking for offers, the source said, but added that the board is open to considering options that maximize shareholder value.
Yahoo has discussed tie-ups with both Time Warner Inc's AOL division and Google Inc , different sources earlier told Reuters. A partnership with Google, in which Yahoo search results would carry advertising from Google, may be announced as early a next week, another source told Reuters.
