Fan Zhiyi left for the World Cup and did not return to Dundee
|
Dundee have settled their dispute over compensation with China international defender Fan Zhiyi.
The two sides have "settled the matter to our mutual satisfaction" following discussions at a Scottish Premier League hearing on Friday.
Fan had claimed that he was owed £500,000 by the Tayside outfit.
But a joint statement by Fan and Dundee said they regrettted that the issue had taken so long to decide and wished each other well for the future.
Fan, previously with Crystal Palace, spent less than a season with Dundee, performing well both in defence and attack.
But he left on loan to Shanghai Zhingyan in his homeland to prepare for the World Cup finals, did not return to Scotland and a contractual dispute followed.
Meanwhile, Argentine striker Juan Sara has returned to Dens Park following his injury-plagued loan spell with Coventry City.
He was not offered a permanent deal by manager Gary McAllister but is still hopeful of winning a move to English football.
Australian midfielder Mark Robertson is also back at Dundee after his loan spell with St Johnstone.
Neither player can play for Dundee again this season.
