Gareth Barry's dream move from Aston Villa to Liverpool appears to be over - for now at least.
The Sun reports that the England midfielder is resigning to staying at Villa Park despite Liverpool's attempts to sign him.
It is believed the clubs have been unable to agree a price for Barry.
His agent Alex Black is quoted as saying: "After much speculation I can confirm that Gareth Barry will not leave Aston Villa before the transfer window closes.
"Gareth made the decision to stay two weeks ago and informed Aston Villa of his intentions.
"During this time discussions have taken place to decide the best way forward for all parties.
"Any talks regarding potential new contracts at Aston Villa will not take place until the end of the season.
"Gareth wants to concentrate on playing on the best of his ability for Aston Villa and we hope this draws a line under the matter."
