Ajax Amsterdam will pay 7.85 million euros ($8.9 million/ Sh 1 billion) to the family of their former player Abdelhak Nouri, who suffered brain damage following a heart attack on the pitch in 2017, the Dutch champions said on Monday.
Midfielder Nouri made his senior debut in 2016-17 but his playing career was ended prematurely after he suffered a cardiac arrest in a pre-season match against Werder Bremen in Austria.
