Craig Bellamy admits it would be “uncomfortable” to return to Manchester City under Roberto Mancini, but staying at Cardiff is “very unlikely”.<\/p>\n

Wales international Bellamy is spending the season on loan at Cardiff after falling out of favour with Mancini at City and has scored eight goals in 27 appearances.<\/p>\n

A permanent deal at Cardiff is likely to be out of reach, even if the club secure promotion to the Premier League, and Bellamy is braced for a return to City.<\/p>\n

He has a further year left on his contract at Eastlands, but accepts it could be a difficult season if Mancini remains City boss.<\/p>\n

“Even if Cardiff are promoted, I feel it’s very unlikely I’d stay,” Bellamy told the Daily Mirror.<\/p>\n

“It is not an option to have another year on loan here – I don’t want to be on loan anywhere next season.<\/p>\n

“The deal Man City did with Cardiff was for them to pay a lot of my wages but if we got promoted, they would have to buy me. It sounded romantic in August but if we look at it money-wise, it’s probably not going to happen.<\/p>\n

“It is difficult because I do have another year at Man City. I could be there the whole year and not be involved. It would not be ideal for anyone if that happens. It certainly wouldn’t be ideal for them.<\/p>\n

“I will have to be at Man City because I have a year left, but it will be an uncomfortable situation for everyone really, if Mancini is still in charge.<\/p>\n

“There’s nothing I can do. He is the manager. He chooses the squad – and rightly so.”<\/p>\n

Bellamy added: “You never know whether it could still work out for me there. It all depends who you are working with. That’s the key.<\/p>\n

“If it was Jose Mourinho, you don’t see many players who can’t work with him or he can’t revive. Or Harry Redknapp. Certain managers have that gift.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
