Hearts have ended their dispute with Racing Genk by paying the final installment of the transfer fee they owed the Belgian side for Bosnia winger Mirsad Beslija.
Hearts agreed to pay a club-record £850,000 for the 27-year-old 11 months ago but Genk had appealed to FIFA after the Jambos failed to complete the payment in the allotted time.
"Hearts have now paid the money owed. We are happy and FIFA are happy," Genk spokesman Eric Gerets told the Daily Record.
"The money was paid early in December. We always knew the money would be paid."
