Gareth Barry staying at Villa?

July 15, 2008

Long-time Liverpool target Gareth Barry could be staying at Aston Villa after all. Firstly, Liverpool midfielder Xabi Alonso looks to have had a proposed move to Juventus fall through, which would have paved the way (and spared up the cash) for Barry to arrive at Anfield. Secondly, Barry has been ordered to return to training on Wednesday at Aston Villa, according to the club.

Previously the Villa boss, Martin O’Neill, had ordered Barry to stay away and not report back for training at all. Villa play against Odense in the Intertoto Cup this Saturday, but Barry is not expected to feature.

Barry has shown signs of frustration at his dream move to Liverpool being put on hold by Villa’s refusal to accept any of Liverpool’s offers for the player.

Villa want £17 million plus Steve Finnan for Gareth Barry, Liverpool have refused to meet that offer.
