The former Barcelona and Bayern Munich star was expected to find a new team in Europe.
"I will always be willing to give back what I have been given and I am grateful for the time, I have enjoyed it," he posted on social media.
"Thank you, football. And to all who accompanied me and made me a better player and person along the way."
Alcantara had surgery on his hip near the end of the 2022-2023 season and never fully recovered.
