Melbourne City FC Director of Football, Michael Petrillo, said: “While we remained in regular discussions with Yonatan’s management in recent months, we have mutually agreed that both parties will now move in different directions.
“We are currently in the process of identifying the right player to bring in to add some further quality and depth to the squad.
“Yonatan made a big impact in a relatively short period, delivering in some of the biggest moments of the season, including of course, the Grand Final.
“We thank him for his contributions and wish him well in the next chapter of his career.”
