Stoke City: Ex-Barcelona forward Bojan Krkic leaves Championship club
Stoke City’s former Spain forward Bojan Krkic has left the Championship club by mutual consent after five seasons in the Potteries.
Bojan joined the Potters from Barcelona for an undisclosed fee in July 2014.
He had a year left to run on the contract he signed with Stoke in February 2016, when they were still a Premier League club.
The once-capped Spain striker, 29, leaves “with the best wishes of all at the club,” said a club statement.
After being signed by Mark Hughes, Bojan made a big impact as Stoke won every game he scored in until he suffered a serious knee injury after netting in an FA Cup win at Rochdale in January 2015.
That injury meant he missed the rest of that season and after scoring seven times in the 2015-16 campaign, he then spent half of the 2016-17 season on loan at German club Mainz.
He went on loan to Alaves for almost the entire 2017-18 season, before spending the whole of the last campaign in Stoke.
