Man City attacker Bellamy told to stop touting himself to Feyenoord

Feyenoord chief Leo Beenhakker has pleaded with Craig Bellamy to stop touting himself to the Dutch club.

Bellamy, on loan at Cardiff from Manchester City, has said he wants to join Feyenoord if Cardiff are promoted, but Beenhakker is not ready to consider a deal for the 31-year-old.

"I got him on the phone, I sent him a detailed text message, to ask him if he will stop the nonsense," Beenhakker told AD Sportwereld.

"I said to him, 'Friend, you can say anything you want, but while you are still owned by Manchester City, I cannot.

"It is as simple as that. As soon as he is free from his club, he knows where he can find me. Until then, these are cowboy stories.

"I saw he said in the media, 'Beenhakker takes me seriously'. That bothers me. There's just a huge price tag on him. If it comes off, then we can talk."
