The billionaire owners of the Daily Telegraph and the Sunday Telegraph are to put both titles up for sale. 

Sir Frederick and Sir David Barclay are understood to be reviewing all of their key assets, which includes the Telegraph Media Group. 

Figures published on 17 October showed TMG's profit for the last financial year was £900,000 - a 94 per cent drop on the previous financial year. 

The Barclay twins, who bought the paper in 2004, have declined to comment. The news of the sale was first reported by the Times.
