Vozinha, 40, poised for Colo-Colo switch after World Cup heroics

Veteran Cape Verde goalkeeper Vozinha is set to join Chilean giants Colo-Colo on an 18-month deal after reaching a verbal agreement with the club.

The 40-year-old is expected to complete the move once the final administrative details are resolved, with only paperwork now standing between him and a switch to the Santiago side.

According to transfer specialist Fabrizio Romano, the contract documents are due to be signed over the weekend, paving the way for the experienced international to travel to Chile.

Vozinha will then undergo a medical, which is the final condition before the transfer can be made official.

18-month deal lined up

Barring any late complications, the goalkeeper will sign an 18-month contract with Colo-Colo, extending his playing career well into his 40s.

The move represents a significant new chapter for the Cape Verde international, who has built a reputation as a consistent and reliable presence in goal over many years.

Colo-Colo, one of South America’s most storied clubs, are looking to add experience and leadership to their squad, with Vozinha viewed as a figure who can contribute both on and off the pitch.

World Cup form underlines longevity

Vozinha heads to Chile on the back of an impressive 2026 World Cup campaign, during which he delivered a series of standout performances.

His displays at the tournament underlined that, despite his age, he remains capable of operating at the highest level.

The goalkeeper’s market value is currently estimated at €500,000 by Transfermarkt, reflecting his enduring status as a respected figure in the game.

Now, as he prepares to take on a new challenge in South America with Colo-Colo, his move marks another notable step in a long and distinguished international career.
