Aston Villa boss Martin O'Neill insists he has received no new bid from Liverpool for England international midfielder Gareth Barry.

O'Neill hinted earlier in the week that he would be willing to sell Barry if the Reds offered him £17million plus former Fulham defender Steve Finnan.

Rafa Benitez has already had a £15million bid for the England international rejected but O'Neill the News of the World: "There's not a grain of truth in this story that the club or Randy Lerner agreed any deal with Liverpool.

"We've waited over a week for them to come back to us and respond to our price for Gareth.

"They know what it is but their original offer hasn't changed."
