West Ham United have reached an agreement to terminate
the contract of Fredrik Ljungberg with immediate effect.
The midfielder has been linked with Roma and Olympiakos this
summer, but the Swede's agent recently announced he was happy at
Upton Park.
However, the Hammers have now agreed to end the 31-year-old's
contract to allow him to consider his future.
A statement on West Ham's official website said: "West
Ham United and Fredrik Ljungberg have reached agreement about the
termination of his contract on undisclosed terms with immediate
effect."
Scott Duxbury, West Ham CEO, added: "We respect Freddie
Ljungberg's position and are pleased we could reach agreement and
wish him all the best in the future. This deal is mutually
acceptable to both parties."
A number of clubs are believed to be tracking Ljungberg, who
retired from international football at the end of Euro 2008, and
there is interest in his services in Europe, the United States and
Asia.
However, Ljungberg says he will now take time to think about his
options before making a decision on his next move.
Ljungberg said: "I gave my all at West Ham and enjoyed my time
there but the decision is the best for the both of us.
"Now I will take my time to consider my football future."
Ljungberg made 25 starts for the Hammers after his £3million
move from Arsenal last summer.
