Yahoo Inc is likely to sell its 35 percent stake in Yahoo Japan ahead of the conclusion of its broader strategic review, possibly within weeks, the Financial Times reported.

A deal to sell its stake in Yahoo Japan -- which Yahoo owns along with Japanese mobile company Softbank -- could facilitate a sale of the rest of the company, the FT said.
