由于受到网络新闻及读者习惯影响，《每日电讯报》利润直线下滑，从2004年巴克利兄弟收购时的3200万英镑下滑到2018年的810万英镑。《每日电讯报》的持有者——巴克莱家族的两兄弟大卫·巴克莱和霍华德·巴克莱（英语：David and Frederick Barclay）2019年时，因家族成员不再像过去团结而打算出售部分英国资产，以取得资金购回部分成员的投资项目。当时传出《每日邮报》以及《伦敦标准晚报》和《独立报》（The Independent）都是《每日电讯报》的潜在买家[2]。此外，美国总统唐纳德·特朗普的顾问史蒂芬·班农2019年11月在接受《泰晤士报》周日版访问时表示，表明有意收购《每日电讯报》，并称该报是“绝佳的待开发产业”[3]。
