Fans believe Rigoni will be key for São Paulo in the second half | OneFootball

Emiliano Rigoni was announced as the new addition to São Paulo last Tuesday. The forward will experience his second stint with the club to strengthen the offensive system, which has been heavily affected by injuries this season. The Tricolor fans believe that the Argentine will be useful to the team in the second half of the year.

In a poll conducted by Gazeta Esportiva, 80% of the fans believe that the player's signing will be beneficial to São Paulo for the remainder of 2025. On the other hand, 20% consider it an unnecessary acquisition.

Rigoni was playing in Mexican football, specifically for León. The 32-year-old forward, who has previously worked with Hernán Crespo, arrived after the coach's approval.

The Argentine arrives at a challenging time for São Paulo's attack. With three players injured, including Jonathan Calleri, Rigoni will have the opportunity to gain playing time and help the team in the remainder of the season.

Emiliano Rigoni played for the Tricolor between 2021 and 2022 and had his best moment precisely under Crespo's command. In the São Paulo team, he played in 70 matches, scoring 13 goals and providing nine assists. After the departure of the Argentine coach, he suffered a decline in performance and was eventually transferred.

Since last season at León, Rigoni has recorded one goal and one assist in 18 games. At 32, he has an extensive resume, with stints at Austin (USA), Elche (Spain), Zenit (Russia), and Atalanta (Italy). In Argentine football, he played for Belgrano and Independiente.
