Leonardo Ezequiel Godoy (born 28 April 1995) is an Argentine footballer who plays as a right-back for Brazilian club Santos, on loan from Athletico Paranaense.[1]
Career
[edit]Early career
[edit]Born in Concordia, Godoy played as a midfielder for local side Club Salto Grande, and also had a failed trial at Vélez Sarsfield. He later moved to Atlético Rafaela in 2010,[2] where he was converted into a right-back by manager Víctor Bottaniz.[3]
Atlético Rafaela
[edit]After progressing in the youth categories, Godoy made his first team – and Primera División – debut on 10 April 2015, starting in a 1–1 away draw against Crucero del Norte.[4] He immediately became a starter for the side, and scored his first senior goal on 10 August, in a 5–1 Copa Argentina home routing of Deportivo Merlo; he was later sent off in that match.[5]
Talleres
[edit]In July 2016, Godoy was transferred to Talleres de Córdoba, after the club purchased 80% of his economic rights.[6] He became an immediate first-choice for the side, rarely missing a match for the club.[7]
In September 2020, amidst transfer rumours to Estudiantes, Godoy signed a new two-year contract with Talleres.[8]
Estudiantes
[edit]On 16 September 2020, Godoy was loaned to Estudiantes until December 2021, with a buyout clause.[9] On 15 December 2021, the club exercised his clause, purchasing 50% of his economic rights for a fee of US$ 1 million.[10]
Godoy was a first-choice during his entire spell at the Pincharratas, helping the club to win their first-ever Copa Argentina title in 2023.
Athletico Paranaense
[edit]On 6 January 2024, Godoy was announced at Campeonato Brasileiro Série A side Athletico Paranaense, signing a four-year deal.[11] He shared the starting spot with Madson during the campaign,[12] as the club suffered relegation.
Loan to Santos
[edit]On 13 January 2025, Santos announced the signing of Godoy on a one-year loan deal, with a buyout clause.[13] He made his club debut three days later, replacing Yeferson Soteldo in a 2–1 Campeonato Paulista home win over Mirassol.
