The London-based holding company would pay a large part of the new price of Air Europa with its own shares, according to El Confidencial.
IAG had previously said that it was reviewing the purchase operation unveiled a year ago, which at the time was valued at 1,000 million euros before the coronavirus pandemic hit the tourism sector.
This month, the Spanish government announced a 475 million euro aid package for Air Europa.
