MILAN (Reuters) - There is no plan for a tie-up between the Italian publisher RCS Mediagroup (>> RCS MediaGroup SpA) and Rupert Murdoch's News Corp (>> News Corp), Fiat Chairman John Elkann said on Monday.

"There is no alliances in the works," said Elkann when asked to comment on press reports about a possible News Corp investment.

Fiat said on Friday it would double its stake in RCS Mediagroup to 20 percent when an ongoing capital increase for the Italian publisher is completed.
