Ex-Man United star Casemiro haemorrhaging money as his business venture loses nearly £1m

Casemiro, who left Manchester United in the summer, is in the red with his business venture

Former Manchester United ace Casemiro has suffered a financial blow through his esports enterprise.

Over the past two financial years, Casemiro’s company has racked up nearly £1million in deficits. According to the latest financial statements, the Brazilian midfielder’s video game organisation, Casemiro Sports Brasil SLU, closed the 2025 financial year with a loss of €202,374 (£173,903).

This shortfall follows a heavy deficit of €842,900 (£724,317) recorded in 2024, bringing the venture’s total combined losses over the last two financial periods to roughly €1.05m (£902,280).

The financial slump comes despite the organisation, known commercially as Case Esports, scaling back its Spanish footprint. The business ceased its operational activity in Spain in 2024 to pivot its core focus toward the Brazilian market.

As a direct result of winding down its Spanish branch, Case Esports recorded zero core operational revenue in 2025, down from €90,345 (£77,634) generated the previous year.

The company did, however, book €52,800 (£45,371) under “other operating income” – more than triple the figure from 2024 – though the annual accounts provided no further details regarding the source of this revenue stream.

Expenditures for the outfit remained high relative to income, driven largely by ongoing staffing obligations. Personnel costs for 2025 stood at €187,517 (£161,136) to maintain a team of two employees still retained by the company in Spain.

While this represents a significant reduction from the €460,172 (£395,432) spent on staff in 2024, it continues to drag on the company’s bottom line. Conversely, the “other operating expenses” line item saw a sharp decrease, dropping from €413,223 (£355,088) to €10,656 (£9,157).

The latest accounts highlight a challenging trajectory for the venture since its inception. Casemiro established the company in 2020 with the initial ambition of breaking even within a year. However, the business ended its operational run in Spain with cumulative losses of more than €7m (£6m), which have had to be continually covered through financial contributions from its members.

On the balance sheet as of December 31, 2025, total assets for Casemiro Sports Brasil SLU stood at €1.5m (£1.29m), a 3.5 per cent increase year-on-year. This included tangible fixed assets of roughly €750,000 (£645,000) and trade receivables of €475,831 (£408,888).

Total equity was reported at €121,540 (£104,441), comprising registered capital of €3,000 (£2,578) accumulated prior-year losses of €6.75m (£5.80m), and capital contributions from shareholders exceeding €7m (£6m). Current liabilities remained high at just under €1.4m (£1.2m), with short-term debts exceeding €1.5m (£1.29m) and trade payables accounting for €164,664 (£141,498).

Despite his business’ financial trouble, the losses are unlikely to cause Casemiro too many sleepless nights given the fortune he has amassed during his playing career. The midfielder was reportedly earning around £350,000 a week during his time at United, meaning the latest £174,000 annual loss represents roughly half of a single week’s wages.

Casemiro spent four seasons at Old Trafford. He joined from Real Madrid in 2022 and went on to make 160 appearances for the club, scoring 26 goals. He left at the end of the 2025/26 campaign following the expiration of his contract and subsequently joined Inter Miami.

Despite the fact his playing career appears far from over, the Brazilian continues to manage his portfolio outside of football. In addition to his esports team, the 34-year-old acquired a stake in Spanish club Marbella FC in June 2024, joining the Andalusian side as a shareholder.
