The Reds have been linked with a £3.5million swoop for the Birmingham City winger in recent weeks, following their Blues’ relegation from The Premiership.
Although the player insists he is happy to stay at St Andrews and the club have assured their fans there is no need to sell, it would be difficult to reject a suitable offer.
"We aim to go into the Championship with the best squad in the league," managing director Karren Brady told the club website. "We want to get out as soon as possible so we will be buying not selling."
It is now being reported that Gerrard has spoke with Rafael Benitez, and has advised the Anfield boss to make a move to bring the 23-year-old Pennant to Merseyside in time for next season.
