According to Skysports.com, the initial bid of £15million for Aston Villa England international player has been rejected yesterday.
The winger has been reported as a target of the Anfield club for several months and fits the young, British profile sought by owners Fenway Sports Group.
But new manager Alex McLeish said at the end of June that he hoped he would be able to convince the former Middlesbrough player to stay at Villa.
It is therefore thought that a fee closer to £20million would be required if Villa are to part with another of their key assets in the wake of Ashley Young's transfer to Manchester United.
Time for Liverpool FC to activate their plan B. Juan Mata from Valencia is rumoured to be the next target.
