A brief statement from the club on Twitter reads: “#OGCNice and @kschmeichel1 have mutually decided to terminate the contract with the Danish national team player.
“The club wishes him every success in the rest of his career.”
The 36-year-old only joined Nice last season, but fell out of favor towards the end of the season.
The French side have signed Marcin Bulka from PSG and reportedly see the Polish goalkeeper as their new number one.
Schmeichel has been left out of Nice’s squad for every game this season and it is clear that his future is no longer with the Eaglets.
The Danish shooter made 36 appearances in Ligue 1 last season, keeping 11 clean sheets.
But it wasn’t enough for the former Leicester City man to keep his place between the sticks.
Schmeichel left Leicester last summer after making an incredible 479 appearances for the Foxes.

At the club, he won the Premier League, the FA Cup and the Community Shield.
But despite his impressive resume, it is not known if there are any clubs lining up to take him off Nice’s hands.
Last season’s ninth players will have their work cut out for them if they want to get Schmeichel out of the way before the deadline.
The Denmark international was linked with a move to Chelsea earlier in the window, but that now seems unlikely with the Blues having added Roberto Sanchez and Đorđe Petrović to their ranks.
