In June 2020, Cantero departed Sportivo Peñarol at the expiration of his contract and subsequently joined Primera División side Godoy Cruz.[4][5][6][7] After going unused on the substitute's bench against River Plate a month prior, he made his debut on 14 December during a Copa de la Liga Profesional draw away to Central Córdoba; replacing Tomás Badaloni with eleven minutes left.[2][8][9][10]
