BRUSSELS, Oct 24 (Reuters) - French telecoms group Orange and Spanish peer MasMovil have picked Romania's Digi to buy assets they plan to divest to address EU antitrust concerns over their Spanish tie-up, two people with direct knowledge of the matter said on Tuesday.

Orange and MasMovil, the second and fourth largest telecoms providers in Spain, announced the deal which has an enterprise value of 18.6 billion euros ($19.7 billion) in July 2022.

The European Commission in June warned the companies that the deal, which will reduce the number of mobile players in Spain from four to three, may reduce competition and push up prices in Spain.
