Italian bank Mediobanca on Tuesday rejected a takeover offer by state-backed rival Monte dei Paschi di Siena , saying a tie-up would be detrimental to its shareholders because it lacked any strategic and financial rationale.

Shares of Italian payment services company MPS (Monte dei Paschi di Siena) experienced a significant decline as Mediobanca's board convened to discuss a potential bid for MPS. This meeting comes amidst ongoing speculation and strategic considerations regarding the future of MPS, which has been under scrutiny due to its financial health and the broader consolidation trends in the European banking sector. The discussions at Mediobanca are pivotal as they could lead to a formal offer or strategic partnership, influencing not only MPS's stock price but also the competitive landscape of Italian banking. The market's reaction reflects investor concerns over the implications of such a move, including potential restructuring, integration challenges, and the impact on shareholder value.
