"We
understand from Microsoft that they would like to put forward
proposals to us to restructure the deal, potentially
re-notifying that deal, to address our competition concerns,"
she told Sky News. "If they do that we will consider those
restructured proposals carefully."
The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) blocked the $69
billion deal in April over concerns about its impact on
competition in the cloud gaming market.
It has been left increasingly isolated in opposition after U.S.
regulator, the FTC, failed to block it in court last week, and
the CMA has taken the unprecedented step of reopening talks.
Cardell said any new proposal put forward by Microsoft would
"need to fully and comprehensively resolve our concerns".
