According to the Daily Mirror, Bellamy did favour a loan move away from Manchester City - in the hope that Roberto Mancini would be sacked and he could return under a new manager.
But the Welshman has kicked up such a fuss that City want him out, and have told the 31-year-old not to report for training.

Spurs could get Bellamy for around £2 million, providing they take over his £90,000/week contract. Bellamy's former Blackburn boss and good friend Mark Hughes wants him at Fulham, but that pricetag and the wage bill could put them off.
Meanwhile, Cardiff are still holding out for a possible loan move to take Bellamy back to his homeland.
