Birmingham City failed in a late attempt to sign Bristol City defender Jay Dasilva with the Robins rejecting the Blues' permanent offer.
Birmingham Live report that Blues made the approach with Lee Bowyer determined to sign a left-sided defender and sell Kristian Pedersen, with the Dane in the final few months of his contract and with interest abroad.
However, City’s refusal to allow the former Chelsea academy player to leave meant Birmingham had to hold onto Pederson, with the 27-year-old - who had been considered as a transfer option by the Robins in 2021 - now set to leave on a free transfer at the end of the season.
