Gareth Barry has been disciplined and ordered not to report for pre-season training as Liverpool increased their offer for the Aston Villa captain.
Barry, 27, has been punished for giving an unauthorised interview to a Sunday newspaper in which he criticised Villa manager Martin O'Neill.
Villa report for pre-season on Thursday as the transfer row took another twist.
Liverpool's new bid is around £15m
Villa have turned down a succession of offers from Liverpool, and O'Neill has denied he had received a "take it or leave it" final bid on Wednesday, insisting: "The situation remains the same."
O'Neill has said Barry will be granted his wish to join Liverpool - but only when his asking price is met.
