BERLIN, Nov 11 (Reuters) - Alphabet's Google

will invest around 5 billion euros ($5.8 billion) in Germany, a

source familiar with the matter told Reuters on Tuesday, in a

push to expand its infrastructure and data centre capacity in

Europe's largest economy.

The plans include a new data centre in Dietzenbach,

close to Frankfurt, and the expansion of a Google site in the

city of Hanau, in the same area, a second source said.

Another source said earlier that the plans foresee

investments of "a mid-single-digit billion euro amount".

Google did not immediately comment on the size of the

investment.

The U.S. tech company has already said it will be "investing

billions in Germany and will be addressing real issues of the

future with innovations, artificial intelligence and

climate-neutral transformation".

A press conference will be held on Tuesday at 4:30 p.m.

(1530 GMT), and German Finance Minister Lars Klingbeil is

expected to speak.
