New York Sun Owner Dovid Efune Nears £550 Million Deal for Telegraph

Efune is in advanced talks with RedBird IMI to acquire the UK newspaper, outbidding other contenders.

  • Dovid Efune, owner of the New York Sun, is close to finalizing a deal to purchase the Telegraph for over £550 million.
  • Efune has entered exclusive negotiations with RedBird IMI, the current owner, after offering the highest bid among competitors.
  • The sale process was initiated after the UK government blocked RedBird IMI's acquisition due to concerns over UAE influence.
  • Efune's financial backing includes prominent US investors, and he aims to maintain the Telegraph's editorial independence.
  • Other potential buyers, such as National World and former UK chancellor Nadhim Zahawi, have been outbid in this process.
