Wilfred Bouma, whose contract with Aston Villa will expire at the end of June, is able to speak to other clubs to secure a free transfer.
The Dutch defender has been a Villa fans' favourite since his arrival from PSV Eindhoven, combining strong defensive skills with a formidable work ethic and drive to succeed.
But a dislocated ankle, suffered in an Intertoto Cup tie against Odense at the end of last season, followed by a toe injury kept Bouma on the sidelines for around 18 months.
"Freddie epitomises the kind of qualities we associate with top Dutch players and he has been really unfortunate to have been sidelined because of injury," said Villa manager Martin O'Neill.
"That came as a real blow because, as a player, I have the utmost regard for him and he has been a totally positive influence at the club throughout my time here.

"He has fought back strongly to get himself fit again and he really wants to get back to the level of which he is undoubtedly still capable, so he wants to take this opportunity to do that and I wish him only the best."
Bouma has made 90 appearances for Villa, scoring one goal - which came in a 4-1 home win over Newcastle United in 2007-08.
