Manager Magazin, citing unnamed sources, said ING made the approach to the German government, which owns a stake in the German lender, and to Commerzbank Chief Executive Martin Zielke. But Zielke declined to engage in formal talks, the report said.The three banks declined to comment. The German government was not immediately available for comment.
