By Samuel Shen and Kazunori Takada SHANGHAI (Reuters) - China's Dongfeng Motor Group Co Ltd and PSA Peugeot Citroen will agree on Tuesday to a capital tie-up as part of a broader 3 billion euro fundraising that will end the Peugeot family's control of the 200-year-old French carmaker, a source said. A non-binding memorandum of understanding will be signed whereby China's second-biggest carmaker and the French government each will inject 800 million euros ($1.10 billion) for 14 percent stakes in PSA Peugeot , a Dongfeng executive with direct knowledge of the talks told Reuters. Peugeot will also sell new shares to existing shareholders, bringing the total fundraising effort to 3 billion euros ($4.1 billion), the source said, confirming earlier Reuters' reports. The rescue deal will help Peugeot - founded in 1810 as a maker of tools and coffee grinders - survive the withdrawal next year of 7 billion euros in state guarantees to its sales financing arm, which are keeping the French firm afloat.
