Craig Bellamy has threatened to quit Manchester City in the wake of the sacking of former boss Mark Hughes.
Wales striker Bellamy, who led a player protest against City's hierarchy following the dismissal of Hughes, is said to be seriously considering his future.
Bellamy has been City's player of the season and would be a major loss to the club if he decided to walk out of the club because of his enduring loyalty towards Hughes.
One of new City boss Roberto Mancini's first tasks will be to persuade Bellamy to stay and win over the faction within the squad who remain angered by the way Hughes was treated.
Bellamy has demanded to know why Hughes was dismissed, despite City having lost just twice in the Premier League all season and reached their first domestic cup semi-final for 28 years.
Hughes was given his marching orders with City in sixth place in the table and a game in hand on their rivals for their stated aim of securing a Champions League spot.
