Ramis returns to Spain to join Levante.
Spanish defender Ivan Ramis has been allowed to join Levante after his contract, due to expire this summer, was cancelled by mutual consent.
The 30-year-old joined Latics in 2012 from Real Mallorca and after impressing during the early part of the Premier League season, suffered a cruciate knee ligament injury at Fulham in January 2013 which side-lined him for the best part of 12 months and saw him miss out on the victorious FA Cup run and subsequent Europa League campaign.
