RTRS - Peugeot CEO will consider merger only after turnaround

MILAN, March 31 (Reuters) - French car maker PSA Peugeot Citroen PEUP.PA will only be ready for a possible merger after it has completed its recovery plan, CEO Carlos Tavares told Italian daily Corriere della Sera.
"(Fiat Chrysler FCHA.MI boss) Sergio Marchionne is welcome every time he wants to speak to us but for us it's a little bit early now," Tavares said in an interview published on Tuesday.
"We need to finish our cure and recover our good health."
Media reports recently suggested Fiat Chrysler was talking to Peugeot and Volkswagen
