Ibrahim Salou has been released by Red Bulls New York<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Ghanaian forward Salou Ibrahim has been released by Major League Soccer side New York Red Bulls.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The 31-year-old joined the Red Bulls last April from Denmark\u2019s Vejle and scored three goals in 19 games.<\/p>\n

His release will save the Red Bulls US$ 264,000 under the league\u2019s US$ 2.65 million salary cap.<\/p>\n

Salou received less and less playing time as the season progressed, especially after Thierry Henry signed with the club in July.<\/p>\n

When he received a chance to play in the pre-season, he either under-performed or looking disinterested, almost knowing what his fate was going to be.<\/p>\n

That probably was multiplied several times when Red Bulls coach Hans Backe said in the pre-season that Ibrahim and Thierry Henry could not play together.<\/p>\n

The former Club Brugge player is reported to be planning a return to Europe after several clubs showed interest in him prior to his injury in 2010.<\/p>\n

Ibrahim snubbed the chance to play for the Black Stars before the 2006 World Cup hoping he could get the opportunity to play for Belgium.<\/p>\n

But the Europeans did not call him up and ignored by the Ghanaians after the rise of several important strikers like Asamoah Gyan and Prince Tagoe.<\/p>\n
