If you recall that the left-back joined Saints from Chelsea in a permanent deal in 2015.
Bertrand has made 240 appearances for the Saints, scoring eight goals, since his initial loan from Chelsea was made permanent in February 2015.
Southampton said in a club statement: "Whilst that time will always be fondly remembered, the club and Ryan have agreed that now is the time to respectfully part ways and move forward on different paths."
Bertrand reached the FA Cup final, two FA Cup semi-finals and was part of the team that secured the club's highest finish in the Premier League in the 2015-16 season.
Bertrand, who has made 34 appearances for Ralph Hasenhuttl's side this season, has recently been linked with a number of clubs, including Arsenal.
It's been gathered Arsenal have been linked with the full back and it appears that Mikel Arteta might be making a move for him in the summer.
Bertrand has also dismissed reports he had rejected a new contract offer from Southampton.
"After many months of hard decision making, I have decided to leave Southampton Football Club," he said.
"This has only been decided in the last 48 hours and comments that I had not accepted an offer previously are not true."
