Overview
- The regional labor court's 8th panel, ruling Tuesday, ordered a monthly pension of R$1,800 until age 75 for former youth player Kauê Moreira de Souza.
- Judges found negligent treatment after a 2021 training injury to his right knee, which derailed his shot at a professional career.
- The award includes R$200,000 for moral damages and R$144,000 for material losses, and the player's lawyer estimates the total near R$2.5 million.
- The panel replaced an earlier order of full salary paid only until age 35, using life-expectancy tables to set the longer term at a lower monthly rate.
- Corinthians plans to appeal to the Superior Labor Court, and local reports say the pension could be demanded upfront, which worries the club about cash impact.
