Colo-Colo, one of Chile's most prominent football clubs, has confirmed that Cape Verde international goalkeeper Vozinha will not be joining the squad, despite an earlier announcement suggesting his arrival. The decision comes just days after the club had initially announced the signing, with both parties unable to finalize the contract.
According to Chilean media reports, the breakdown was due to disagreements over personal terms and contract duration. Vozinha, whose full name is Josimar Dias, had been expected to bolster Colo-Colo's goalkeeping options for the upcoming season.
The 39-year-old goalkeeper, who currently plays for AEL Limassol in Cyprus, has been a key figure for the Cape Verde national team. His experience and shot-stopping ability had made him an attractive target for the Santiago-based club.
Colo-Colo officials have not provided further details, but the club is now expected to explore alternative options in the transfer market before the window closes.
