Harry Redknapp has urged clubs interested in signing Júlio Cesar from Queens Park Rangers to come forward and make an offer for the goalkeeper.

Arsenal were heavily linked with a move for the Brazil international following Vito Mannone’s departure to Sunderland earlier in the summer but a move across London has thus far failed to materialise.

And Redknapp, whose QPR side were relegated from the Premier League last season, has called on the 33-year-old’s suitors to make it clear if they are interested in signing the shot-stopper before the close of the transfer window.

“He’s a world-class goalkeeper,” Redknapp told a news conference on Friday.

“He played for Brazil in the Confederations Cup and won the cup with them. I think he could play for any team in the world.

“I think he wants to play at a higher level than the Championship so it’s up for someone to come in and want to buy him.

“They’d be buying a great goalkeeper, there’s no doubt about that. He’s a great pro and fantastic person.”

Cesar has also been linked with a move to Serie A side Napoli in recent weeks.
