Manchester United midfielder Casemiro will pocket a small end-of-year boost. His former club, São Paulo, reached a formal agreement to settle a long-running labour dispute.
According to Brazilian outlet UOL, the club will pay the 33-year-old around €283k this month. It will close a case that had been active since 2014 and only entered its enforcement stage this year.
The claim originally stood at about €333k, linked to a mix of employment-related payments from his academy days. That included image-rights charges, match-related earnings and standard contractual add-ons such as bonuses and holiday entitlements.
The final deal lands “slightly below” that figure, as described by UOL. It will be paid in monthly instalments of roughly €16k until December 2026.
There is also a penalty clause: any failure to meet the payment schedule would trigger a 50% surcharge, pushing the total towards €416k. São Paulo accepted the terms, and the settlement was approved by the regional labour court on Monday.
Meanwhile, Casemiro’s future at Manchester United remains unclear, with reports continuing to question his long-term role at Old Trafford. Still, the midfielder will now have one less off-pitch issue to worry about as he heads into the final stretch of the year.
