March 25 (Reuters) - Adam Neumann submitted a bid to buy

back WeWork ( WEWOQ ) for more than $500 million, the Wall

Street Journal reported on Monday citing people with knowledge

of the matter.

It was not immediately clear how Neumann would finance the

acquisition, the report added.

Last month, Reuters reported founder Neumann was trying to

buy back the flexible workspace provider which had filed for

bankruptcy in November.
