Unicredit's unexpected offer for Banco BPM has raised concerns among stakeholders, who view the bid as undervalued. Alternative scenarios for Banco BPM include remaining independent, merging with Banco Mps, or forming an international bank with Credit Agricole. Meanwhile, Unicredit's plans for Anima are complicated by its takeover bid for Banco BPM and the significant state ownership in the asset management group.
