Liverpool FC target Demba Ba could cost just £5m claims Harry Redknapp
Newcastle striker Demba Ba, who is believed to be a target for Arsenal, Liverpool and others, is available for less than his reported £10million release clause, according to Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp.
Premier League clubs were put on alert late last week after it emerged that Ba has a release clause in his contract on Tyneside.
The 26-year-old was believed to be available for £10million, with a report on Sunday suggesting Chelsea, Manchester City and Manchester United were also showing interest, along with Tottenham (see below).
Newcastle officials are desperately trying to keep Ba at the club after news of his buy-out clause was made public, by offering him improved terms on his three-year deal.
But when asked about the Senegal international's £10m release clause, Redknapp said: "I think you will find it is a lot less than that."
And when asked if was as little as £7m, Redknapp was quoted by the Daily Mirror as adding: "Even less than that."
A whole host of clubs are now expected to launch bids for the former West Ham forward before the end of the month.
As you all know of course, Harry Redknapp doesn't like talking about other clubs players.
