Manchester City look close to agreeing a fee with Bolton for England defender Gary Cahill.
The defender played in every league game for the Trotters this year and made his England debut in November. Cahill is thought to be keen on playing Champions League football as he looks to establish himself as a regular in the national side.
Bolton are thought to want £20 million plus Nedum Onuoha in exchange for the 25-year old. Cahill moved to the Reebok in January 2008 and has made 126 appearances for the club.
Manchester City are looking to strengthen their squad in preparation for next season’s Champions League having finished third in the league. With Kolo Toure still waiting for the hearing following his failed drugs test a centre-back is high on Roberto Mancini’s wish list.
Bolton had also been keen on taking Dedryck Boyata and Craig Bellamy on loan as part of the deal but the Welshman reportedly favours a return to hometown club Cardiff. Onuoha, on the other hand, spent this season on loan at Sunderland and is thought to be keen on a permanent move away from Manchester City.
