MADRID (Reuters) - A group of shareholders at Spanish power utility Naturgy have proposed appointing a top Citigroup (NYSE:C) banker as CEO, newspaper Cinco Dias reported on Monday citing unidentified sources with knowledge of the matter.

Naturgy, Citi and CVC declined to comment, while GIP and IFM did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
