Talks have started and hopefully the appointment of a new manager will soon be followed by Bellamy's return. There is a small matter of £90K a week wages to overcome as well.
"Craig has indicated he will like to play again for Cardiff next season and if that happens it will be fantastic,” Jenkins said.
"We have had an initial conversation with his agent and said we remain open to offers.
"We will sit down and have a chat with Manchester City and his agent once we have a manager in place."
Jenkins responded to the question of a possible player/coach role for Bellamy by dismissing that idea at the moment.
"I don't think it is likely at the minute (that Bellamy could become a Cardiff player/coach). We'd love to have Craig back as a player but we'll see what happens."
