Dundee will hold discussions with Rangers over a fee for midfielder Lyall Cameron in a quest to avoid leaving the matter in the hands of a transfer tribunal.
The 22-year-old attacking midfielder has agreed a move to Ibrox this summer when his Dens Park contract expires.
With Cameron trained and developed by Dundee, Rangers are obliged to pay compensation to the Dark Blues.
Should the two sides be unable to agree on a final sum, the matter will be resolved by an independent Scottish FA tribunal.
Aberdeen recently secured an award of £640,000 after midfielder Connor Barron joined Rangers and, with little or no certainty around the process, Dundee managing director John Nelms plans to follow up on preliminary talks with Rangers CEO Patrick Stewart in the hope of finding common ground.

"I mean there has been a small conversation about that," Nelms admits. "A very, very preliminary conversation about that.
"At the time it was with their new Chief Executive, who’d come in, like two weeks prior.
"Patrick’s seat wasn’t even warm yet and I’m sure that as time goes on I think we will have more conversations about that.
"I don’t think they want to go to a tribunal. The last tribunal was very well publicised and our lawyers know all the details.
"So we both have different views probably and neither one of us want to get there, so hopefully we will come to a resolution on that."
