London's "Chelsea" took advantage of the opportunity to offer more than 9 million euros to the "Newcastle" club for striker Demba Ba.
Exactly such a transfer amount is specified in the footballer's contract, so he has started negotiations with "Chelsea" regarding personal contract terms and may soon move to London. He will not be registered for Wednesday's English Premier League match between "Newcastle" and "Everton."
Over the past few months, "Newcastle" has been actively negotiating with Ba's agent trying to eliminate the contract clause that stipulates such a modest compensation, but they have not reached an agreement.
This season, Ba has scored 13 goals in the English top flight and is one of the most productive players. In the "Chelsea" team, he would strengthen the attacking line, as Daniel Sturridge is soon expected to move to "Liverpool," and in that case, the only nominal striker in the team would be Fernando Torres.
