"Sberbank in the Czech Republic is not for sale, but a deal is already being prepared in Hungary and Slovakia," the report said.
Sberbank had assets worth EUR2bn in Slovakia and EUR1.6bn in Hungary.
Sberbank declined to comment on the matter.
In December last year, reports emerged that Sberbank is planning to divest the two units.
