LONDON, June 15 (Reuters) - Liberty Media Corp. <L.N> is expected to finalise an offer for Vivendi Universal's <EAUG.PA> <V.N> entertainment assets within days, in a deal worth $12 billion to $14 billion, FT.com reported on Sunday.

The report said Liberty Media Chairman John Malone met Vivendi's chief operating officer, Jean-Bernard Levy, last week to discuss the terms and structure of the deal. Liberty is expected to settle a bid for Vivendi's cable television assets, movie studios and theme parks in the coming days, FT.com added.

Liberty and Vivendi could not be reached for comment.

On Thursday, sources told Reuters that a group of private equity players had joined a consortium formed by Edgar Bronfman Jr. to bid for Vivendi's entertainment assets. Other suitors include oilman Marvin Davis, Viacom Inc. <VIAb.N> and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer <MGM.N>.
