曼聯出價一千五百萬英鎊收購保頓中堅加利卡希爾
Manchester United are ready to move in for Bolton Wanderers defender Gary Cahill as manager Sir Alex Ferguson continues his rebuilding plan for the squad’s future.
Concerned over defender and captain Rio Ferdinand’s increasing injury problems and lack of form, Ferguson is understood to have earmarked Cahill as the England captain’s natural successor in the centre of defence.
While the United supremo does not expect Ferdinand to leave the sport just yet, he is desperate to bring in defensive reinforcements to not only replace his best defender, but also as a possible immediate first team player due to Serbian defender Nemanja Vidic’s desire to leave the club this summer.
To this end, Ferguson has asked the club to put up a £15 million bid for Cahill and hopes to tempt the 24-year-old to Old Trafford to play for a higher profile club, which could also further strengthen his own claims for an England call-up under Fabio Capello’s rebuilding plans for the Three Lions.
Cahill suffered international disappointment last season after failing in his own fitness fight due to a blood clot in his arm, which saw him miss enough playing time to be dropped from Capello’s consideration for the England World Cup squad.
But his sterling displays in the centre of defence for unfancied Bolton has caught the eye of many admirers, not least that of Ferguson who is also under pressure from United supporters to make a major signing this summer. The defender is also understood to be keen on a move to a bigger club and does not want to be embroiled in another relegation battle next season with the Trotters.
While Cahill would not necessarily be considered a star in the making, the defender’s composure on the ball as well as fierce tackling would sit well next to, or in place, of Ferdinand. Should the latter continue to breakdown from a chronic back injury, and having to miss part of United’s start of the new season due to the knee injury suffered prior to the World Cup finals, Ferguson would have an immediate substitute in Cahill.
