MELBOURNE, March 29 (Reuters) - Australia's sovereign wealth fund, the Future Fund, is considering buying Macquarie Group's (MQG.AX) 23.2 percent stake in airports fund MAP Group MAP.AX, an Australian newspaper reported on Monday.

Macquarie is rumoured to be looking for a price of around A$1.5 billion ($1.36 billion) for the stake in the fund that it managed until last year, The Age newspaper said.
