Reports from CNBC's Charlie Gasparino, embattled investment bank Lehman Brothers (NYSE: LEH) is weighing the sale of at least part of their prized asset management unit, Neuberger Berman.

Gasparino said a sale of the entire unit could fetch around $8 billion.

Gasparino said one problem with the sale could come from rating agencies. Gasparino said recently Merrill Lynch had second thoughts about selling its stake in asset management firm BlackRock (NYSE: BLK) after rating agencies voiced concerns. Merrill decided against selling any of the stake.
