Barnsley manager Keith Hill has admitted that his gamble on signing Mido during the summer has not paid off.
The Egyptian striker has made just one appearance for the Championship club after continuous fitness problems, and Hill has revealed that Mido will leave Oakwell if an agreement can be reached.
Hill told BBC Radio Sheffield: "It's a definite possibility that he could be going. We're discussing it with his representatives at the moment.
"Every player has to be compatible with a manager's vision and I ignored a lot of people when I signed him but it just hasn't happened.
"It's amicable and it's unfortunate that the plan to resurrect his career hasn't worked out here."
Barnsley are currently in 22nd place in the Championship table.
