Colo Colo confirm deal with Vozinha | OneFootball

From being the unexpected standout of the World Cup, to the point that FIFA included him in its ideal team, to joining one of Chile’s giants: Vozinha, Cape Verde’s goalkeeper, has reached a verbal agreement to join Colo Colo, on a deal through December 2027, the year in which the Cacique hopes to compete again in the Copa Libertadores.

“We have reached an agreement with him,” club president Aníbal Mosa confirmed to Olé. So now only the official announcement is missing before the arrival of the 40-year-old player can be confirmed.

Before the World Cup, Vozinha had become a free agent after leaving Chaves, from Portugal’s second division (a common destination for Cape Verdean players). It was reported in the press that he had offers from Inter Miami and other clubs.

Argentine teammates

At Colo Colo, he will have an Argentine coach, Fernando Ortiz, El Tano. The future of another goalkeeper, Fernando de Paul, is uncertain. Forwards Maxi Romero and Javier Correa are still there. Also Claudio Aquino, formerly of Vélez, and Lautaro Pastrán. In any case, his most high-profile teammate will be Arturo Vidal.

Josimar Dias, Vozinha’s real name, gained 29 million followers on Instagram after his strong performances at the World Cup in the United States. He stood out against Uruguay and Spain. Also against the Argentina national team in the round of 32 (La Albiceleste won 3-2).
