Cape Verde keeper Vozinha sparks Brazil club interest after World Cup breakout

Josimar Dias, known as Vozinha, the 39‑year‑old goalkeeper who helped Cape Verde reach the round of 16 at the 2026 World Cup, has attracted offers from clubs abroad. Brazil’s Feira FC confirmed it submitted a proposal to sign the keeper, though the club did not disclose financial terms or the player’s response. Vozinha, who was named best player in the goalless draw against Spain, is currently a free agent after his contract with Portuguese second‑division side GD Chaves ended. Prior to the tournament he earned roughly €8,000 a month (about R$50,000) and was listed with a market value of €50,000. The heightened visibility from his World Cup performances is expected to raise his profile and potential earnings.

Vozinha’s rise from modest earnings in Portugal to interest from a Brazilian club underscores how strong tournament showings can reshape a player’s career trajectory.
