Competition challenges lie ahead for Mail’s Telegraph bid
The Observer
|November 23, 2025
Lord Rothermere’s Daily Mail and General Trust (DMGT) is in exclusive talks to buy its rival, the Telegraph, in a deal that would create the most powerful right-leaning media group in Britain.
The deal has reportedly been struck for “about £500m”, which would repay what RedBird Capital, the newspaper's previous suitor, had agreed as a price. Where exactly that money comes from is now the subject of intense speculation.
Analysts believe Rothermere will need to put together a consortium of investors, but hasn’t had the time. They say the period of exclusivity is a proactive move to prevent the triggering of an auction for the 170-year-old title.
