Bayern Munich have confirmed that Turkish international Hamit Altintop is one of three players who will leave the club after Saturday's final Bundesliga match of the season against Stuttgart.
Former Schalke midfielder Altintop, defensive midfielder Andreas Ottl and reserve goalkeeper Thomas Kraft are the trio who will be moving on during the close season, with the club marking their farewell with a bouquet of flowers after the game.
Altintop, 28, joined Bayern in 2007 and was a member of the domestic double winning sides of 2008 and 2010, also featuring in the 2010 Champions League final defeat by Inter Milan.
However, his time at the club was restricted by injuries, restricting him to just 63 Bundesliga appearances in four seasons.
"This season, Hamit only played three games from the start. He feels that's not enough, and we understand and respect his decision," Bayern chairman Karl- Heinz Rummenigge told the club's official website.
