The New York Red Bulls will send Omer Damari back to Red Bull Leipzig, Ali Curtis and Jesse Marsch confirmed on Thursday.
Damari's loan was through the end of the season, so he will head back to New York's sister club in the Bundesliga.
Gonzalo Veron, one of the team's designated players, is in the plans for 2017, Marsch and Curtis said.
"You saw him having some really good performances," Curtis said at the team's final media day. "He had a great performance against the Galaxy in LA, he probably could have drawn another PK, and then you saw towards the end of the season even though he wasn’t a regular and he wasn’t starting, every time he was getting in there he was creating chances and finding opportunities.
