Outlook

With a Rating of 56.7, Godoy carries the 11th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Liga Profesional Argentina (top 15%). Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.87 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). At 21 the trajectory points up — potential sits near its ceiling (97/100) and market value should climb as minutes and output follow. With this floor already at 21, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
