But any such deal, in which Yahoo carries Google ads alongside its search results, would not preclude a deal with Microsoft Corp (MSFT.O), the person said.

Microsoft's $31-a-share cash-and-stock offer for Yahoo was initially valued at $44.6 billion. (Reporting by Anupreeta Das; Editing by Braden Reddall)
