Convicted murderer Bruno is on the verge of signing for Boa Esporte in the Brazilian Serie B, the club's sporting director confirmed Friday.

He was was convicted in 2013 of homicide, kidnapping, false imprisonment and hiding the body — the final charge relating to testimony given by a cousin of the player that claimed Samudio was cut up into pieces and fed to Bruno's Rottweiler puppies.
