Ex-Schalke Max Meyer will no longer play for Crystal Palace with immediate effect.
Meyer and the Premier League club terminated the contract that ran until the summer of 2021.
The association announced this in a brief statement on its homepage.
"Max Meyer left Crystal Palace Football Club by mutual agreement," it said.
Initially, there was no information on the reasons for the step.
It's the end of a misunderstanding.
When he was presented in London, Meyer was presented grandly as a "German Messi".

The 25-year-old midfielder from the Schalke youth team, who comes to four international matches, moved from FC Schalke 04 to England in 2018 with great anger.
Meyer turned down offers to extend the contract, the then manager Christian Heidel made details of the negotiations public.
Meyer is said to have been dubbed a "world class player" by his advisor Roger Wittmann.

The subsequent move to the English middle-class club Crystal Palace fit into this formulation as little as Meyer's ideas in London.
He never became the expected leader and was recently completely sidelined.
In the current season he only played once for the second team and in the second round of the League Cup.
Return to the Bundesliga?
This means that Meyer is available for free transfer.
Recently there were rumors about a move to 1. FC Köln, the 25-year-old still knows the manager Horst Heldt there from his Schalke days.
In Gelsenkirchen they are currently trying to get many ex-players to the Ruhr area.
Sead Kolasinac is already there, and there are also rumors about Klaas-Jan Huntelaar and Rafinha.
The next one could follow with Meyer.
At his ex-club, the player not only has the broken negotiations from 2018, but also a video from his father, for which he then apologized publicly.

However, both clubs, which are suffering from the loss of income from the Corona crisis, could certainly not afford the salary from Meyer's Premier League times (allegedly five million euros).
So he would have to make noticeable concessions.
