It's well known internally that DB intend to sell Arriva as a whole, not broken into chunks. The latter makes no sense to DB as the process would take a long time. They want completion by 2025. This information around the dates seems to corroborated in the below business news article from April.

I understand that not only other companies may be interested, but also investment firms too. Arriva may even be 'spun-off' back into its own standalone business.
