June 12 (Reuters) - Aston Villa have rejected a new bid from Liverpool for captain Gareth Barry, the club said on its Web site (www.avfc.premiumtv.co.uk) on Thursday.
The left-sided midfielder, who has established himself in the England squad, has become a prime target for Liverpool boss Rafael Benitez as he tries to assemble a squad capable of challenging for the title.
"The offer was a slight improvement on a previous bid but our position on the issue remains unchanged and Liverpool have been informed," a Villa statement said.
