Telecom duo allowed to leave

Despite Telecom's reluctance to sell, the duo is set to take advantage of their respective relegation-release clauses.

"We are not willing to sell any of our players after relegation," Telecom director Abdul-Hakim Sorour told FilGoal.com.

"Only Riad and Omran can leave because they both have minimum fee release-clauses in their respective contracts."

Former Ahli winger Riad joined Telecom from Harras Hodoud last summer, but the 27-year-old made little impact with the Cairo side.

Omran, on the other hand, signed from Suez Cement, who were also demoted last season.
