Michael Essien has been released by Indonesian topflight side, Persib Bandung.
The former Chelsea and Real Madrid star was revealed to have extended his deal with the Bandung Lautan Api Stadium giants.
With the club signing foreign strikers, they had to do away with one of the foreign players in the team to suit league policy.
Before the former Ghanaian star was shown the exit door, the Bandung Tigers had signed Bogan Malisic, Oh In-Kyun and Ezechiel N’Douassel.
