However, Pedro will now leave the Tigers after nine months at MKM Stadium.
During that time he scored six goals in 35 Championship appearances as well as providing two assists.
In a statement, Hull confirmed they had made the decision ‘to allow him to pursue other opportunities’.
Pedro had joined the club on a free transfer in September following his departure from Fenerbahce a month earlier.

The 31-year-old has agreed a two-year deal with the option of a further year.
His move follows the permanent arrivals of Gustavo Puerta, Reda Laalaoui and Dillon Phillips.

Sergej Jakirovic has since taken charge ahead of the start of pre-season.
The Bosnian joins from Turkish side Kayserispor on a two-year deal.
As for Selles, he was confirmed as Chris Wilder’s successor at Sheffield United this week.
Wilder was sacked by the Blades after they missed out on promotion to the Premier League.
