Ceará Sporting Club was offered goalkeeper Vozinha, from Cabo Verde, for Série B. The 40-year-old athlete became one of the highlights of the World Cup by shining in the goalless draw with Spain.
Who is Vozinha?
Vozinha is the captain of the African national team and is free on the market after ending his contract with GD Chaves, from Portugal.
Why is Ceará not interested?
The alvinegro football department ruled out the signing due to the player's advanced age, despite the management mapping out names for the position.
What comes next?
Vozinha's staff also sought out other Série B teams. The goalkeeper became a phenomenon on social media after his World Cup debut, with over 5 million followers on Instagram.
