Stoke City gave Jese Rodriguez compassionate leave until the end of the season, effectively ending his season-long loan from Paris Saint-Germain.
The Premier League club have confirmed the Spaniard, who had been excluded from the first-team squad in recent weeks, will not play for the club again.
Jese, 25, has failed to impress during a disappointing campaign at the bet365 Stadium, despite scoring a superb debut goal in the Premier League victory over Arsenal in August.
It proved his only strike for the relegation-threatened club and he made just 12 further appearances, the most recent being the 2-1 loss to Everton on March 17.
He was not considered for selection again, with reports claiming Jese had failed to report back for training as expected after a period of compassionate leave to be with his sick son.
"In order to respond to recent press speculation surrounding Jese Rodriguez, we would like to confirm that the club has given Jese permission to take unpaid compassionate leave until the end of the season for personal reasons and therefore he will not be returning to Stoke during his loan period," a club statement read.
Jese has since taken to social media to thank Stoke for how the handled themselves during the situation.
"I would like to thank Stoke for their patience and understanding," he wrote, and added that he wishes "everyone at the Club the best."
Jese already knows that he has no future at PSG and that the club will look to move him on this summer as they attempt to trim their squad to comply with UEFA's financial fair play.
