Manchester City are at the forefront of landing Bolton Wanderers defender Gary Cahill this summer.
Liverpool boss Kenny Dalglish is understood to also be interested in the centre-half.
However, the Mirror claims the Scot is likely to lose out to City in any battle for the England international’s signature.
Dalglish has earmarked the centre-back position as a priority are and sees Cahill as the perfect candidate.
But if Wanderers hold out for the £20 million they are demanding then this may price the Merseysiders out of the running.
For Manchester City such a price is easily within their reach.
