“We’ve made him a good offer and we have done the best we can. It’s up to John now, but we would love him at Birmingham.

“He could play for anybody still. He has got a couple of good years in him. I had a chat with him and said to him to come in – he’s doing his coaching badges – have a year or two and who knows what he wants to do in the future?”

Redknapp helped Birmingham avoid relegation and finish 19th in the Championship last season.
