Ferry’s proposed £1.8 million move to the Czech Republic has hit a wall, with the winger now back in pre-season training at Tannadice.
Dundee United vice-captain Will Ferry returned to training with the club on Wednesday, signalling that his transfer saga may be cooling for now.
Record Sport revealed earlier this week that United had accepted a £1.8 million offer from a Czech side for the Republic of Ireland international.
Ferry was granted permission to open talks with the Czech club, but negotiations have not progressed beyond that initial stage.
It remains to be seen whether the unnamed Czech side will return with a renewed approach for the 25-year-old midfielder.
Ferry is currently in the final year of his Dundee United contract, which adds significant urgency to any potential deal in the coming weeks.
Interest in the winger is not limited to the Czech Republic, with clubs in England and other European leagues also monitoring his situation.
Ferry was a standout performer for United last season, earning his first Republic of Ireland international cap in May as recognition of his club form.
Further transfer interest in the player is widely expected as the summer window progresses and his contract situation becomes more pressing.
Meanwhile, Dundee United have continued to strengthen their squad, confirming goalkeeper Jordan Amissah as their seventh summer signing.
Amissah joins from Burton Albion and will compete directly with Jack Walton for the starting goalkeeper position at Tannadice.
The goalkeeper previously impressed during a spell at Ross County, though he never had the opportunity to play at Tannadice during that time.
Amissah spoke candidly about the importance of his time at Ross County, saying “I was kind of at a crossroads at the time with Sheffield United.”
“I had a decision to make, am I going to stay, maybe go out on loan or change scenery and crack on with my career,” he added.
The goalkeeper admitted the period that followed was far from straightforward, saying “I found myself without a club for six months” and that “it was really tough.”
He described his relief when the opportunity at Ross County emerged, adding “when Ross County came in I was delighted” and that he broke into the team fairly quickly.
Amissah acknowledged the disappointment of relegation with County but said “I’ve got plenty of fond memories from my time up in Dingwall.”
Looking ahead to his move to United, he said “I am happy to get it over the line and I am looking forward to the next few years.”
Amissah also reflected on the challenge of competing in the Scottish Premiership, noting “it is such a competitive league and you have to be on top of your game to succeed.”
