July 21 (Reuters) - Norwegian online classifieds group

Adevinta said on Monday it had sold its Spanish business to

Swedish private equity firm EQT to focus more on its

remaining European units.

The deal gave the Spanish business an enterprise value of

around 2 billion euros ($2.3 billion), a source with knowledge

of the matter told Reuters.

Adevinta's Spanish unit comprises six marketplaces ranging

from job-search platform Infojobs and real estate website

Fotocasa to classified sites for second-hand cars and motorbikes

coches.net and motos.net.

Adevinta, owned by a consortium led by Blackstone and

Permira, also owns German online car sale webpage mobile.de and

French and Italian second-hand marketplaces Leboncoin and

Subito.

The deal is the latest in a string of planned or completed

asset sales by Adevinta. The company has agreed to sell its

stake in Austria's consumer marketplace Willhaben and is mulling

the listing of German online auto marketplace mobile.de.

In 2020, EQT bought Spanish rival real estate ads platform

Idealista and sold it four years later, keeping a minority

stake.
