Paris St Germain have terminated the contract of former Serbia striker Mateja Kezman, who has managed just five goals in two years since he signed from Turkish side Fenerbahce.
Kezman's contract was due to expire next summer but both parties have agreed to end the much-travelled striker's deal ahead of schedule.
The former Chelsea and PSV Eindhoven frontman had made just two substitute appearances for PSG this term having spent last season on loan at Russian outfit Zenit Saint Petersburg.
"Paris St Germain and Mateja Kezman has reached an agreement today to terminate the player's contract,'' read a statement on the club's official website.
"The club wishes to thank Mateja for his professionalism during his time in the colours of Paris. We wish him every success for the rest of his career.''
Kezman managed just five goals in 25 league appearances for PSG since first signing on loan from Fenerbahce in 2008. He joined the French club on a permanent deal a year later but failed to establish himself as a first-team regular.
His recent struggles are a far cry from his early career, which saw him score prolifically in his homeland for FK Partizan prior to a hugely successful spell in the Eredivisie with PSV Eindhoven, where he hit 105 goals in 122 league appearances.
Kezman's Dutch exploits attracted the attention of Chelsea, who he joined in a £5.3 million deal in 2004. He failed shine in the Premier League, however, and left the London club after one season to join Atletico Madrid.
