MILAN (Reuters) - A potential deal targeting Italian payments group Nexi (BIT:NEXII) is one of several options CVC Capital Partners is looking at, but the private equity firm is not preparing to file an offer, a source close to CVC said.

Nexi shares rose 17% on Wednesday after Bloomberg reported late on Tuesday that CVC was in the early stages of mulling a potential offer for Nexi.
