Chelsea’s hopes of signing Demba Ba from Newcastle United have seemingly been dashed after talks broke down over contract terms. The Newcastle United striker has a release clause in his contract that allows a club to come in and sign him if they bid £7 million. While Chelsea and other clubs are interested in Senegalese international, Newcastle is still trying to renegotiate the contract so they can keep Ba at the club for a few more seasons.
