According to reports from Wales Online, Aston Villa lodged an £8 million bid for Cardiff goalkeeper Neil Etheridge but it was quickly rejected.
Fulham, who dropped down to the Championship, are also in the hunt to sign the 29-year-old keeper, and have seen an offer closer to £10 million also rejected.
Etheridge is a key player for Cardiff, and even though they will play in the Championship next season, the club are trying their best to keep hold of him.
Put it simply, Villa will have to submit a tempting offer to lure him away.
