Speaking after releasing a new update on X, Romano said: "What's next for Vozinha after having this fantastic World Cup? Don't forget he is a free agent. He is 40 years old but it can be an opportunity on the pitch but also off the pitch in the sense of marketing.
"Vozinha already has two proposals from the second division in Brazil. Already clubs are moving for Vozinha, he and his camp are going to be finding the right opportunity. He will soon be finding a new club."

Record say that the Herons are interested in signing Vozinha and that there is 'strong interest' from the MLS outfit, who hold him in 'high regard' after his incredible World Cup campaign.

“Hearing words like that from someone like Leo Messi means a lot to me. I thanked him and said, ‘Thank you, Leo. You are the best’.
“Then I asked if we could swap shirts. Leo said he would give it to me in the tunnel after the interview.”
