Willian, a former Chelsea and Arsenal star, left Corinthians after claiming he and his family had received death threats on social media, according to the BBC.
Willian, 34, has scored once in 45 games since joining Corinthians from Arsenal last summer.
The Brazilian player could return to the Premier League at Fulham.
“Willian asked us to terminate the contract. We are sad that he is no more and also because things did not go as we expected. But we have to leave the happy ones here,” said Corinthians president Duilio Monteiro Alves.
Corinthians have lost five of their last nine matches and Willian played in Wednesday’s second leg as the Brazilian side were knocked out of the Copa Libertadores quarter-finals by national rivals Flamengo, News.ro said.
“Every time Corinthians lost and I didn’t play well, my family received threats and abuse on social media – my wife, my children and recently they started attacking my father, my sister,” Willian told the website. Globo Esporte.
