Defender sues São Paulo over unpaid wages and injury at work | OneFootball

São Paulo is facing a labor lawsuit filed by center-back Ruan Tressoldi, who played for the club between the 2024 and 2025 seasons.

The player is seeking total compensation of R$ 13.7 million from the club, an amount that includes overdue image rights payments and a request for recognition of workplace accidents resulting from a knee injury suffered during his time with the club.

The information was first reported by journalist Jorge Nicola. São Paulo has not yet commented on the case.

The claim related to workplace accidents and alleged inability to work accounts for approximately R$ 6 million of the total amount.

However, this specific part of the lawsuit may be disregarded by the courts, since the premise of early retirement due to injury has lost practical support.

The center-back had his economic rights acquired by Atlético-MG from Sassuolo, of Italy, and signed a new professional contract with the Minas Gerais club valid until 2030.
