Cardiff have terminated the contract of Juan Cala by mutual agreement after the centre-back managed just eight appearances since joining in February.
Cala, 25, arrived from Sevilla and signed a two-and-a-half-year deal at Cardiff City Stadium earlier in the year with the Bluebirds still in the Premier League but has fallen out of favour under Russell Slade.
A statement on the club's website read: "Cardiff City Football Club can confirm that on Wednesday, 3rd December 2014, Juan Cala contract with the club was terminated by mutual agreement. The player leaves Cardiff City with immediate effect.
"We would like to thank Juan for his contribution and wish him the very best for his future."
Cala recently issued an apology to Cardiff chairman Vincent Tan having been sent to train at the club's academy, tweeting: "I wish to apologise to Tan Sri Vincent Tan for my recent comments. He had nothing to do with my move to the academy."
City manager Slade had said on Friday that Cardiff would investigate whether Cala had broken club discipline rules on social media and would look to move the player on during the January transfer window.
Cala scored two goals in 11 appearances during his time with the Welsh club.
