The Cape Verdean goalkeeper has already begun his adaptation process in the Chilean capital after sparking the euphoria of the Alba supporters at the Monumental Stadium
The arrival of Vozinha at Colo Colo has generated significant buzz both inside and outside the pitch. After shining as one of the standout players of the 2026 World Cup while guarding the goal for Cape Verde, the seasoned goalkeeper has made his move to South American football. He has signed an 18-month contract with the Santiago-based club, capturing the attention of fans and the media alike.
Yet, the agreement between Vozinha, club president Aníbal Mosa, and the executives at Blanco y Negro came with an unusual stipulation. The goalkeeper insisted on a condition unrelated to financial incentives or release clauses. Instead, his primary demand was personal and family-oriented: he required assurance that his closest family members would accompany him in the move to Santiago.
A key member of his family
As reported by the sports outlet RedGol, Vozinha’s essential requirement was that the club take responsibility for all legal and international formalities necessary to bring his dog, Akira, into Chile. The Labrador is regarded by the goalkeeper as an indispensable part of his family, making this provision a non-negotiable aspect of his transfer.
