Manchester City are determined to land Bolton Wanderers defender Gary Cahill ahead of rivals.
The Daily Mail says City are prepared to offer Craig Bellamy and Dedryck Boyata plus cash to Bolton this summer in an attempt to land £22million-rated England defender Cahill.
Bolton manager Owen Coyle is understood to be an admirer of both Wales striker Bellamy, who has spent this season on loan at his hometown club Cardiff City, and central defender Boyata, 20, who made his Belgium debut last October.
Coyle may have trouble persuading Bellamy to move to Bolton, with wages also an issue given that he is paid £80,000 a week at City.
