FRANKFURT (Reuters) - Rupert Murdoch's Sky could win all the live broadcast rights to Germany's Bundesliga football again but would have to give up some of the online rights, three sources with knowledge of the matter told Reuters on Friday.

Germany's football association is expected to announce terms of the rights auction next week for the four seasons from 2017/18 to 2020/21. Sky Deutschland paid 2.5 billion euros (£2 billion) in 2012 to secure all the current live rights, including online.
