The company's most recent valuation was valued at $ 76 billion, following a $ 500 million investment by Toyota Motor Corp. (7203.T) in August.

Reuters announced at the end of September that Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley were in pole position to secure the best roles at Uber's IPO.

Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley submitted the evaluation proposals to Uber last month, according to the WSJ report.

Uber and his rival Lyft are actively preparing to go public next year. Although Lyft hired the class V Group LLC IPO, Uber is behind schedule.

Uber hired Nelson Chai as chief financial officer in August to fill a long-standing vacancy and pave the way for his long-awaited IPO.

Uber declined to comment on the WSJ report.
