Cape Verde goalkeeper Vozinha is reportedly in talks with three Brazilian Série B clubs over a possible transfer, with a move to Brazil expected to happen as early as July.
The 40-year-old shot-stopper has enjoyed a remarkable surge in global attention following his performances at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, where he emerged as one of the tournament’s unexpected talking points.
His displays, combined with Cape Verde’s competitive showing, have helped raise his profile significantly on and off the pitch.
Reports suggest that Vozinha has gained around 16 million new social media followers within just one week after the World Cup, turning him into a viral sensation across football communities worldwide.
The veteran goalkeeper is now being strongly linked with a switch to Brazil, where several clubs in the country’s second tier are said to be interested in securing his services.
A move to Brazilian football is considered attractive due to improved financial terms compared to his previous earnings in Portugal, where he reportedly earned about €5,000 per month.
According to sources close to the situation, the opportunity to experience South American football at this stage of his career, combined with better wages, has made the proposal appealing to the experienced goalkeeper.
Vozinha’s rise in popularity highlights the growing influence of World Cup exposure on players from smaller footballing nations, where standout performances on the global stage often open doors to unexpected career opportunities.

His shot-stopping ability and composure under pressure were key features of his performances throughout the competition.
Brazilian clubs in Série B are known for recruiting experienced international players to strengthen their squads and bring leadership into dressing rooms, making Vozinha a natural fit for such teams.
Negotiations are reportedly ongoing, and a final decision is expected in the coming weeks as the transfer window opens.
