WeWork has spoken to T-Mobile CEO John Legere about possibly taking over the embattled coworking company, sources told CNBC's David Faber on Monday.

The Wall Street Journal first reported that the talks had taken place.

Shares of T-Mobile slid 3% on the news.

WeWork is conducting a search for a CEO and Legere is among several candidates being considered, Faber reported. The search is ongoing and no decision has been made, sources said. A source close to SoftBank confirmed Legere is one of many candidates being considered for the role, but he's not the leading candidate.

Representatives from T-Mobile and WeWork were not immediately available for comment. SoftBank representatives declined to comment.
