Vozinha's future has taken an unexpected twist just as his move to Colo-Colo appeared to be all but complete. The veteran Cape Verde goalkeeper is now reportedly close to joining RS Berkane, where he would reunite with Bubista, the coach who led Cape Verde during the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

According to a report from MARCA, the 40-year-old goalkeeper never boarded his flight to Santiago to finalize his transfer to the Chilean club. Although Colo-Colo officially announced his arrival, the contract had not yet been signed, allowing Vozinha to remain free to negotiate with other teams.

The opportunity at RS Berkane emerged after Bubista's appointment as the Moroccan club's head coach. Reports indicate the manager personally contacted the goalkeeper, offering him a guaranteed starting role along with a highly competitive financial package.

Vozinha's impressive performances at the 2026 FIFA World Cup significantly increased his market value. His displays against Spain, Uruguay, and Argentina attracted attention from multiple clubs despite his age and extensive career.

The situation has also drawn criticism toward Colo-Colo after the club announced the signing before securing a legally binding agreement. As negotiations continue, the Chilean giants now face the real possibility of losing one of their marquee transfer targets before he ever arrives.
