Matías Godoy, the player and fan making waves at Colón | OneFootball

Colón is making progress in negotiations to sign Matías Godoy. The 23-year-old forward (born January 10, 2002), originally from Ceres, is in advanced talks to become Colón’s newest reinforcement, as the club seeks to strengthen its attack with a player who has proven international experience and recent success.

It’s worth noting that the footballer is a self-confessed Sabalero fan and has supported his beloved club from the stands on more than one occasion. On social media, he was seen in Santiago del Estero when the recent champions played the “Trofeo de Campeones” against River at the “Madre de Ciudades” Stadium.

A defining 2024 and a transitional 2025

Godoy arrives on the back of a historic achievement: 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 spell at Instituto in the first half of 2025, the player returned to the market’s radar, and today, his parent club, Estudiantes de La Plata, would look favorably on his move to the Santa Fe side.

Profile and Career

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

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

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

Argentinos Juniors (2020-2021).

Instituto de Córdoba (2021): First spell at “La Gloria.”

Talleres de Córdoba (2022): Established himself 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 in the cup-winning campaign.

Instituto de Córdoba (2025): Second spell at the Cordoban club during the first half of the year.

He also has experience with the Argentina U-17 National Team, having played in the 2019 World Cup in Brazil, which attests to his development at the highest level of national football.

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