ABN Amro Holding, Barclays Capital and ING Group are involved in both loans. Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi, BNP Paribas, Citigroup, Dresdner Kleinwort Group and WestLB are also behind the dollar credit.
The Moscow Times report the announcements come a day after savings bank Caja Madrid said LUKoil requested financing to buy a stake in Spanish oil producer Repsol. LUKoil declined to comment on reports of a deal.
Sacyr Vallehermoso and Criteria Caixacorp, which are in talks to sell holdings in Repsol, may lower the size of the stakes they are offering, El Pais reported.
Sacyr, which owns 20 percent of the oil company, may not sell all its holdings, while Criteria, which owns about 9 percent, may keep more than the 6 percent that it had intended to sell, the newspaper said, citing unidentified people involved in the talks.
Smaller shareholders such as Mutua Madrilena Automovilista and Caixa Catalunya will sell all of their holdings in Repsol, the newspaper added.
