Both Tottenham and Arsenal are said to have tried to lure the England international to London, but the Scottish coach has confirmed that a deal was never really on the cards due to the fees offered.
“As much as some clubs are looking at Gary, nobody got close to that figure [we wanted] and what was offered was not even considered,” Coyle revealed to Sky Sports News.
Bolton are said to have been holding out for a fee of £17million, but Coyle has stated that the offers were not close to this figure.
“As far as I am led to believe, there were no offers – in terms of written ones, which reached double figures, which is a million miles away from what Gary can be [valued at].
“We can talk about add-ons, but it is what is guaranteed, not about conjecture – you get this and that if this happens, but that might never happen.
“The bottom line is you put down a fee, and then you may get add-ons from that point then that is different, but in terms of what was concrete it was nowhere near,” he continued.
Cahill is currently on international duty for England, but is in the last year of his contract at the Reebok Stadium. Coyle finished by confirming that the player would be offered a new deal when he returned to the club.
“That (a new deal) is for when Gary comes back and the powers that be; I think the owner or the chairman will have a chat with his representatives,” he concluded.
