The Newcastle striker has scored 16 goals in all competitions, and despite claims that the Senegal hitman wants to stay at St James' Park, the newspaper claims he is ready to quit the North East after just a single campaign.
Ba will pocket a staggering £3m of the transfer fee, according to the Sunday Mirror.
The buy-out clause was inserted as the club refused to meet the player’s personal demands or pay a significant amount of agents’ fees.
The 26-year-old is currently on £30,000 a-week, and Liverpool are ready to offer him £70,000.
