Chelsea ready to drop Gary Cahill deal?

Chelsea are reportedly prepared to cut their losses with Bolton Wanderers defender Gary Cahill if the England international doesn't agree personal terms today.

Negotiations over a move to Stamford Bridge have been dragged out over the last few weeks, with Cahill believed to be stalling on an agreement regarding wages.

It is understood that the former Premier League champions will meet directly with the 26-year-old for a straight answer, but are willing to give up on the deal if a deal isn't struck, according to The Mirror.

Bolton have stated that there are no rival bids for Cahill, which suggests that the defender will remain at the Reebok if the Blues terminate their approach.
