PARIS (Reuters) - Chinese conglomerate Fosun (HK:0656), controlled by billionaire Guo Guangchang, is set to raise its bid for holiday company Club Mediterranee (PA:CMIP) on Monday to trump Italian tycoon Andrea Bonomi, a source familiar with the process said.

Bonomi's latest offer in the long-running battle stands at 23 euros per share and values the French company at 874 million euros ($1.1 billion). Fosun had previously offered 22 euros a share in a takeover leapfrog saga that dates back to an offer from Fosun in May 2013.
