Bloomberg reports that the deal will include Yahoo's real estate assets, while intellectual property is expected to be sold separately. Yahoo will hold on to its stakes in Alibaba and Yahoo Japan.
Verizon has been aggressively expanding its media footprint. In May, the company announced a deal to buy AOL Inc. for $4.4 billion, and in February it bought licenses worth $10.4 billion in a government sale of wireless airwaves for mobile data.
