Manuel Roffo (born 4 April 2000) is an Argentine professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Instituto.[1]
Club career
Born in Venado Tuerto, Argentina, Roffo came through the youth setup at Boca Juniors, which he joined in 2012. His performances with the Boca and Argentina youth teams garnered the interest of several European clubs, including Barcelona.[2] He captained several of the clubs youth sides and trained with the first team under Guillermo Barros Schelotto.[3]
He ultimately made no professional appearances for Boca and, on 26 March 2021, he joined Primera Nacional club Tigre on a free transfer.[4] He featured occasionally as Tigre were promoted to the Primera División, being included on the bench on their 1–0 win over Barracas Central to seal promotion on 22 November.[5]
In January 2023, he joined Instituto, signing a contract until the end of 2024.[6] He made his debut in a 2–0 defeat on 20 May 2023, coming on as a substitute for Sebastián Corda after Jorge Carranza was sent off. He made his first start in the next game on 29 May, keeping a clean sheet in a 0–0 draw against Estudiantes.[7] He has since served as the regular first team goalkeeper and, in 2024, was rewarded with a new contract until December 2026.[8]
International career
In 2017, Roffo represented Argentina at the 2017 South American under-17 Championship.[9] He played 4 matches and served as captain against Peru and Brazil.
Later that year, he participated in the 2017 FIFA under-20 World Cup.[10] During this tournament, he served as a backup goalkeeper and did not play any matches as Argentina were eliminated in the group stage.[11] Subsequently, he participated at the 2019 South American under-20 Championship, starting every match as Argentina came runners-up.[12] He was once again the starting goalkeeper for the under-20 team at the 2019 FIFA under-20 World Cup.[13] He played 4 matches as Argentina were knocked out on penalties to Mali.
