Al-Tabie released by Bursaspor

"Bursaspor decided to terminate my contract after the club brought in a defender from Besiktas," Al-Tabie told FilGoal.com.

"The club offered to either terminate my contract on mutual consent or loan me out to Kocaelispor, but I'm yet to make up my mind."

Al-Tabie added that Kocalispor's poor form this season might be a major factor in rejecting the loan and coming back to Egypt.

Kocalispor are currently bottom of the Turkish Superlig, after collecting no more than nine points since the start of the season.
