Trinity Mirror has emphasised that it is not holding an auction of its assets, following a report in The Times today that conference organiser Marcus Evans has “registered an interest” to buy the Mirror and Sunday Mirror.

According to The Times, Evans is willing to offer up to £600 million for the titles - £200 million less than he was reportedly willing to pay in 2004.

A Trinity Mirror spokesman said: “We are still continuing our review and we have not yet reached our conclusions from that review. We are going public to the market before the end of the year, we are not conducting an auction of our assets.”
