Manchester United -star Casemiro has a clause in his contract that guarantees the defending midfielder a huge wage increase when the Red Devils return to the Champions League
Casemiro from Manchester United can have a huge wage increase if Ruben Amorim's team holds the Europa League title. The former Real Madrid star has a clause in his contract that guarantees him a substantial wage increase of 25 percent if the Red Devils secure their place in the Champions League.
If United Triumph in the Europa League final in Bilbao on 21 May, this would mean an amazing £ 100,000 a week boost for Casemiro, which means that his weekly income pushes up to no less than £ 500,000. That is the same figure that Cristiano Ronaldo was in his pocket during his second Stint at Old Trafford.
This deal was agreed that Casemiro made its switch from the Santiago Bernabeu to United in 2022, a time when United was not part of the Champions League.
This situation could be a considerable dilemma for the Portuguese manager Amorim, because the potential costs can encourage club managers to load the 33-year-old. Co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe has instructed Amorim to reduce the wage account in the low season as part of current cost reductions at Old Trafford.
Since Casemiro is currently the highest earner in United, he was expected to leave. Amorim, however, still sees value in Casemiro, who has succeeded in overcoming some challenging times and returning to top form.
He delivered an exceptional achievement in the 3-0 thrashing of Athletic Bilbao of United in the first stage of this week's semi-final of this week's Europa League.
And getting rid of him is perhaps not at all easy, seen earlier this season, the player expressed his wish to stay with United, he emphasized his satisfaction in Manchester, and said he has his future in Old Trafford in mind.
If they manage to ward out Bilbao in Old Trafford, Amorim's team could possibly turn their season in an extraordinary way with Tottenham in a completely English final, with spurs that Bodo-Glimt led 3-1 for their second stage in Norway.
A source from Old Trafford entrusted the mirror that Amorim has made his players crystal clear that they are in the Europa League in the Europa League, now that their main goal is.
They revealed: “Ruben has made it clear to everyone that the focus must now be on the Europa League.
“There is no reality that this has been a bad season in their own country, so to guide the team to a place where they can still be eligible for the Champions League is a remarkable achievement.
“Winning the Europa League would be enormous in terms of what it would mean for the manager – but also in terms of what it would mean if it was about offering him the finances to rebuild the team.”
