Spanish club Rayo Vallecano announced on Monday that they have terminated their contract with Ghanaian international Derek Boateng and have agreed to let him join newly-promoted Eibar.
Boateng only joined Rayo in June this year and was looking to establish himself in the first team.
AllSports reported a few days ago that there had been concerns over the fitness of the 31-year old, and this may be one of the reasons he may have been shown the exit door.
A statement from Rayo on their official website read: "The Rayo Vallecano de Madrid and Derek Boateng have reached an agreement for the termination of the contract between both parties. The player will play in SD Eibar. From the club we wish him well in the new phase begins."
Derek Boateng represented Ghana in the 2006 and 2010 World Cups. In his long career, he has played in various European countries including Greece, Sweden, Israel, Germany, Spain, Ukraine and England.
Between 2009 and 2011 he played for Getafe and had a loan stint at Fulham in the English Premier League last season.
