Matías Godoy, the Colón youngster and Sabalero fan making his mark | OneFootball

Colón advances in negotiations to sign Matías Godoy. The 23-year-old forward (born on January 10, 2002), originally from Ceres, is in advanced talks to become a new addition to Colón, a club looking to enhance its offense with a player of proven international experience and recent success.

It is worth noting that the player is a confessed Sabalero fan and has supported his beloved club from the stands more than once. On social media, he was seen in Santiago del Estero when the recent champion played the "Trofeo de Campeones" against River at the "Madre de Ciudades" Stadium.

A triumphant 2024 and a transitional 2025

Godoy arrives with a historic milestone: he was the hero of the 2024 Copa Argentina final with Central Córdoba of Santiago del Estero, giving the "Ferroviario" their first national title in history. After a brief second stint with Instituto in the first half of 2025, the player returned to the market's consideration, and today the club that owns his transfer rights, Estudiantes de La Plata, would welcome his move to the Santa Fe team.

Profile and career

Standing at 176 cm tall, Godoy is a right-footed forward known for his versatility, able to play as a left winger or an attacking midfielder. His professional journey is extensive despite his young age:

Atlético de Rafaela (2018-2020): Professional debut at just 16 years old.

Dinamo Zagreb, Croatia (2020): His first foray into European football.

Argentinos Juniors (2020-2021).

Instituto de Córdoba (2021): First stint with the "Gloria."

Talleres de Córdoba (2022): Consolidation in the First Division.

Estudiantes de La Plata (2023): Part of the squad that won the 2023 Copa Argentina.

Central Córdoba (SdE) (2024): Key player and top scorer for the cup title.

Instituto de Córdoba (2025): Second stint with the Córdoba club during the first semester.

Additionally, he has a past with the Argentina U-17 National Team, having played in the 2019 World Cup in Brazil, which certifies his training in the elite of national football.

If his move to Colón is finalized, the team will gain explosiveness and goals for the challenges ahead in 2026, taking advantage of the maturity of a player with experience in the First Division.
