Tottenham Hotspur manager Harry Redknapp has been linked with a move for Manchester City forward Craig Bellamy, who could have become unsettled after Mark Hughes was sacked.
Transfer talk increased following reports that the fiery Welshman was unhappy with the appointment of new manager Roberto Mancini.
The 30-year-old has been widely reported to have led a six-man delegation to oppose the firing of Hughes, and is also believed to have clashed with Mancini when the new gaffer took his first training session.
"He is a good player, but he belongs to Manchester City and I'm sure they wouldn't want to sell him," Redknapp told Sky Sports News.
"I tried to sign him before he went there. I think he's an excellent player I really do."
Asked if he would attempt to enquire about Bellamy, though, Redknapp joked: "It's like asking me if I'm interested in Wayne Rooney, of course I love Wayne Rooney, but I won't get him, will I?"
