FC Dynamo Kyiv has reached an agreement with Moroccan defender Badr El Kaddouri on the early termination of his contract, the club's press service has reported.

"The Moroccan got the status of a free agent and will look for a new place in his career," the press service reported on Thursday.

"It's hard, because this is my team, and I spent my whole football life with it. I arrived in Kyiv as an unknown player and I have to thank Dynamo for all that I achieved. I understand that this is football life and every stage in it sometimes comes to an end. I'm leaving, but I will always remember Dynamo, its managers, coaching, playing and servicing staff. It's one big family for me. I'll remember these ten years with Dynamo all my life," Kaddouri told the club's official Web site.

The 32-year-old Kaddouri moved to Dynamo Kyiv in 2002 from Morocco's Wydad. In March 2010, he extended his contract with the club until June 2013. Late in the summer of 2011 he was loaned to Scotland's Celtic, but did not manage to secure a place in the squad and returned to Kyiv. He played for Dynamo-2 in the current season.

As reported, on January 30, Dynamo loaned Nigerian defender Ayila Yussuf to Turkey's Orduspor until the end of the season.

Earlier, four players left Dynamo in the current winter off-season. In particular Brazilian defender Leandro Almeida returned home to play for Coritiba, whereas Serbian midfielder Milos Ninkovic and Brazilian defender Betao moved to France's Evian (Betao loaned until the end of June 2013). Another Brazilian striker, Raffael, was loaned to Germany's Schalke until the end of the season.

In early January 2013, Dynamo signed defender Yevhen Selin and striker Roman Bezus from Vorskla Poltava, as well as Croatian defender Domagoj Vida from Dinamo Zagreb. The club also extended contracts with midfielder Oleh Husiev and defender Yevhen Khacheridi. In late December 2012, Dynamo signed contracts with two promising midfielders from Metalurh Zaporizhia, Andriy Tsurikov and Serhiy Sydorchuk, experienced goalkeeper Oleksandr Shovkovsky extended his contract with the club, and loaned midfielder Oleksandr Aliyev returned from Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk.
