But the Mirror reports that Chelsea are willing to let their long-serving defender to seek a loan deal as his game-time continues to be restricted.
The Mirror added that Villa were one of the sides to hold an interest in the summer and are expected to make a fresh move in the winter – and that appears to have created a bit of a divide on social media.
There are some who feel that bringing Cahill back to his former club could be a mistake. He is on £130,000-a-week at Chelsea, according to Spotrac, so he is likely to command a very high wage. For some, those funds could be better spent elsewhere.
