Villa boss Paul Lambert is keen to offload the 29-year-old, who is also a target for Newcastle United, and wants at least £6m for the striker.
The Cottagers initial offer of £4m was considered to low, however Martin Jol is hoping he can convince Lambert to part with Bent for less than the asking price.
Bent's transfer away from the Midlands would represent a huge financial loss for Villa, who paid Sunderland £24m for the former Ipswich Town player only two years ago.
