Vozinha finally lands at Colo-Colo in Chile amid transfer rumours

Vozinha, the 40‑year‑old Cape Verde goalkeeper, finally touched down in Chile on Monday morning to complete his transfer to league‑leading Colo‑Colo, ending weeks of speculation. The move was confirmed after earlier doubts and comes as the South American club prepares for the upcoming season.

The 40‑year‑old veteran arrived in Santiago early Monday, signing official papers with Colo‑Colo and confirming his status as the club's newest signing. His arrival marks the culmination of a transfer that had been delayed by logistical issues.

The former hero of the Coupe du monde for Cap‑Vert, Vozinha impressed on the world stage during the tournament. His performances for Cap‑Vert at the Coupe du monde earned him a reputation that attracted interest from clubs across continents.

Despite persistent rumours, Vozinha made the journey to Chile, having previously cancelled a flight to Sud America for personal reasons. The decision to travel now underscores his commitment to the new challenge.

A crowd of supporters greeted him at the airport in Santiago, and a photo captured the emotional welcome. The image showed fans waving flags as the veteran goalkeeper stepped onto Chilean soil.

Before joining Colo‑Colo, Vozinha most recently played for Portuguese side Chaves. His stint in Portugal added another chapter to a career that spans several European leagues.

Earlier in his career, he guarded the nets of AS Trencin, AEL Limassol, Gil Vicente and Zimbru Chisinau, among others. Those experiences contributed to his development as a seasoned international keeper.

Colo‑Colo currently sits at the top of the Chilean championship, bolstering their squad with Vozinha's experience. The Moroccan club RS Berkane was also cited on Saturday as a serious contender to the Chilean victory, highlighting the competitive landscape surrounding the transfer.
