Turkish delivery app Getir is in talks to take over German rival Flink in a key step toward consolidation in Europe's food delivery market, where companies are battling a slowdown after COVID-19, the Financial Times said on Monday.
There is no guarantee of an agreement being reached, however, said the paper, which cited people familiar with the matter.Flink is also in talks to raise funding of about $100 million from existing investors, for a valuation of more than $1 billion, the paper added. In a $1.2-billion deal last December, Getir bought German grocery company Gorillas, merging two of Europe's remaining companies in Europe offering groceries in minutes.
