NEW YORK — Google may be close to buying online discount service Groupon in a deal worth as much as $6 billion in what would be the search company’s largest acquisition ever, according to published reports.
The talks were reported by the technology blog All Things D and by The New York Times, which cited unnamed sources with knowledge of the matter. Google and Groupon had no comment Tuesday.
Groupon offers daily bargains from local businesses and national retailers.
