MANCHESTER UNITED have agreed a four-year contract with Casemiro, according to reports.
And the Red Devils will splash out a whopping £290,000 per week on the midfielder.
Casemiro, 30, looks set to complete the move away from Real Madrid where he has won every trophy available including five Champions Leagues.
It is understood United will pay around £60million for the Brazilian who is keen to explore a new adventure.
And respected Italian football journalist Nicolo Schira says the two parties have sorted out his contract.
Casemiro will earn around £15.2m per year until 2026 – which works out as just north of £290,000 a week.

However, despite agreeing a fee of around £74m with Barcelona, United were unable to convince the Dutchman to move.
And the shocking defeats to Brighton and Brentford meant drastic action was needed and Ten Hag identified a new holding midfielder as an absolute necessity.
It is reported United still want another midfielder, a forward, a right-back and a back-up goalkeeper.
