Cape Verde goalkeeper Vozinha, one of the breakout stars of this year's World Cup, is searching for a new club after his contract with Portuguese second-division side Chaves expired. In an interview with Brazilian journalist Daniel Braune, the 30-year-old shot-stopper expressed openness to a move to Brazil, saying he wants to keep playing following his tournament success in the U.S., Mexico and Canada.
Vozinha first grabbed global attention with a sensational performance in Cape Verde's scoreless draw against European champion Spain on June 15. That 0-0 result, in which he made multiple key saves, put the small island nation on the map and established him as a formidable presence between the posts. The match remains one of the tournament's biggest upsets so far.
The goalkeeper's availability comes as several clubs across Europe and the Americas may look to bolster their rosters during the ongoing transfer window. His experience on the biggest stage, combined with his current free-agent status, makes him a low-risk, high-reward option for teams needing depth or a reliable starter.
A move to Brazil would mark a significant shift for Vozinha, who has spent most of his career in Portugal. The Brazilian league's high profile and competitive environment could provide the next step for a player seeking to build on his World Cup momentum.
Cape Verde's next tournament match is scheduled against Mexico on June 23, where Vozinha will have another opportunity to showcase his talents to potential suitors.
