Chelsea will take no action against Enzo Fernandez for singing a derogatory song about France's black players, after he apologised to several French team-mates.
Fernandez was accused of "uninhibited racism" by Chelsea team-mate Wesley Fofana for a video posted to his social media account after Argentina beat Colombia 1-0 in the Copa America final on 14 July.
The Argentina midfielder, 23, landed in Atlanta in the United States on Monday and addressed the incident.
Chelsea instigated an internal disciplinary procedure which is now closed with no action taken, the Press Association reports.
Fernandez has made a voluntary contribution to an anti-discrimination charity. The amount will be matched by Chelsea.
A complaint was also made to world governing body Fifa.
An investigation by Fifa is ongoing and could lead to Football Association (FA) involvement and a potential ban from domestic matches for Fernandez.
