Ajax reach settlements to pay £6.5m to Abdelhak Nouri family in compensation
Nouri, then 20, suffered a cardiac arrest during a friendly against Werder Bremen in July 2017.
Medics spent too long trying to clear his airways and were too late in using a defibrillator.
Ajax has paid for his care since and say they will continue to do so.
Nouri was a Netherlands Under-21 international and had played 15 times for Ajax's first team.
Nouri's family sued the club, and they have now agreed on an amicable settlement instead of going to the KNVB (Dutch FA's) arbitration committee.
Ajax general manager Edwin van der Sar said: "It is good that an agreement has been reached so that we can conclude this.
"We all realise that the suffering for Abdelhak and his loved one is unfortunate over. It r; that’s an unfortunate situation, that's how we feel here at Ajax too."
The Dutch giants retired Nogaves number 34 jersey and gave the Abdelhak Nouri Trophy annually to their best academy player.
