Denmark striker Peter Loevenkrands is leaving Schalke after 2 1/2 years with the German club.
Schalke said Wednesday that Loevenkrands' contract, which ran through June 30, has been terminated "by mutual consent."
Loevenkrands scored six goals in 44 Bundesliga matches for Schalke. He has not played in the league this season.
Schalke managing director Andreas Mueller said Loevenkrands was a high-quality striker but that "it no longer worked out with us over the last half year."
Loevenkrands, who arrived from Rangers in 2006 on a free transfer, was unlucky in being repeatedly hit by injuries, Mueller said.
"The decision that we have made is better for both sides," Loevenkrands said on Schalke's Web site. "We are parting on good terms."
