Spotify is the largest platform for music streaming. It is therefore normal that interests giants like Google. According to the Wall Street Journal, the Mountain View company would have tried to buy the company last year. But not so fast ...
The WJS says, according to "close the file" source, Google zyeutais Spotify in 2013. A Google Mail addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission states in effect that the company planned to spend 20 to 30 billion to buy companies non-US. One of these companies, according to the WSJ, is Spotify. Google reportedly tried to acquire it for $ 5 billion. However, the transaction fell through, Google finally judging the too expensive.
Purchase of Spotify Google would make sense. Google offers its own music indeed that the Swedish streaming service would have strengthened platform.
But, but, but ...
Formally denies ... Re / code this information. According to the website, which is always well informed (as the WSJ that matter), Google has never tried to buy Spotify. Ever. Patterns of the two companies are often encountered, but only to talk about partnerships, nothing more. As indicated in Re / Code, Google also love Netflix, but this is not why he will buy it.
Anyway, Spotify remains independent today and Google is not about to offer.
