PARIS/LONDON, May 6 (Reuters) - Shares in Alcatel-Lucent

ALUA.PA rose as much as 4 percent on Tuesday in brisk volumes on renewed talk that rival Nokia NOK1V.HE planned to buy the Franco-American telecom gear maker, traders said.

"(There is) market chatter that Nokia may bid for Alcatel to use the cash from its Microsoft MSFT.O deal," a London-based trader said.

"Rumour doing rounds Nokia for Alcatel at 4.10 per share. But we've heard that before," an Amsterdam-based trader said.

Spokeswomen for Nokia and Alcatel declined to comment on the rumour.

Alcatel has a market capitalisation of about 8.3 billion euros ($11.52 billion).
