MADRID (Reuters) -Shares in Grifols jumped sharply on Wednesday morning after news website El Confidencial reported that Canadian fund Brookfield has resumed takeover talks with the Spanish pharmaceuticals company.

Grifols shares were up 11% at 9.03 euros in early trade while the blue-chip IBEX35 index was unchanged.

Brookfield has contacted the Grifols family and is considering making an offer valuing the company at 7 billion euros ($7.55 billion), El Confidencial said, adding that the investment fund is being advised by Morgan Stanley ( MS ).

A non-binding offer that valued Grifols at 6.7 billion euros was withdrawn by Brookfield in November after Grifols management rejected the bid as too low and recommended shareholders keep their shares.

The Grifols family, the company's largest shareholder, declined to comment. Brookfield representatives and Morgan Stanley ( MS ) did not respond immediately to requests for comment.
