According to a Bloomberg report on Monday, Pearson is looking into bidders for the 127-year-old British newspaper.
A deal would value the FT at up to $1.6 billion, according to Bloomberg.
People familiar with the situation said that digital publishing giant Axel Springer may be a possible buyer.
According to Bloomberg, FT's chief financial officer Robin Freestone said spinning off the FT was not at the top of Pearson's agenda.
