Aston Villa manager Martin O'Neill is still awaiting a response from Liverpool after holding further talks with Gareth Barry.
Liverpool have spent the summer chasing Barry, but have been unable to agree a fee with Villa for the midfielder.
O'Neill confirmed last week that he had sent his Premier League rivals a letter to outline the club's demands for their captain.
Barry has admitted his desire to join Liverpool, but returned to training with Villa on Wednesday as the situation remained unchanged.
Still waiting
The England international held further talks with O'Neill on Thursday and the Villa boss has confirmed there has been no progress on the matter.
"I've spoken to him this week and he reiterated a desire to join Liverpool," O'Neill told the club's official website.
"So the situation remains unchanged, we're still waiting to hear back from Liverpool."
Barry will miss Villa's Intertoto Cup tie with Danish club Odense BK on Saturday after picking up a foot injury upon his return to training.
