Gary Cahill's contract at Bolton will expire next summer, and a number of teams have been linked with signing the England centre back on a Bosman transfer.<br />

Even Barcelona are reportedly tracking Cahill, as they look for a long term replacement for Carles Puyol.<br />

Coyle's efforts to keep Cahill at the club appear to have failed, and the defender will leave in the coming months.<br />

"It's probably better sooner rather than later,"said the Bolton boss, when asked about Cahill's transfer away from the club.
