Contract clause allows the Senegal striker to leave Newcastle for way below his true value if the deal is done by the end of July





Brendan Rodgers is considering a move for £7million hitman Demba Ba.
The Newcastle striker is available at that knockdown price until July 31 because of a clause in his contract.
After that date, clubs would have to pay the 27-year-old's full market value.
Ba hit 15 goals last season, before heading off on Africa Cup of Nations duty with Senegal.
His scoring touch dried up when he returned, although he was pushed out to a wide position to accommodate the January signing of his international team-mate Papiss Cisse.
Rodgers is likely to face competition for Ba's signature, with Tottenham also interested.
