Steven Gerrard revealed that Aston Villa's transfer bid against Brighton midfielder Yves Bisuma was rejected in January.
The Mali midfielder has been in touch with Liverpool for the past year.
Villa is the most recent team to show interest in the 25-year-old and have seen offers against him rejected.
Gerald said: "There is a good record that we offered Bizer to Brighton but were rejected and we show him respect and appreciation."
"If a transfer doesn't work out, then we don't despair and make decisions that we think are incorrect. If it wasn't right at the time, we might have to be patient in some cases. "
