Emiliano Rigoni cleared to play, set for São Paulo return | OneFootball

Emiliano Rigoni's name was published in the Daily Information Bulletin (BID) of the CBF this Wednesday. With this, the Argentine player is free to make his return for São Paulo.

Announced last Tuesday as São Paulo's final reinforcement in this transfer window, Rigoni signed a contract valid until the end of the current season. If he meets certain set goals, his contract will be renewed until December 2026.

Rigoni had a brief stint with São Paulo, defending the club between 2021 and 2022. The Argentine forward arrived after the state championship won with Hernán Crespo and later also worked with Rogério Ceni before transferring to Austin FC, in the USA.

Rigoni played in the Major League Soccer, the main division of North American football, for three seasons before being sold to León, in Mexico, the same club as James Rodríguez, former São Paulo player.

In the current season, Rigoni has not been able to establish himself as a starter for León, alternating games where he started on the bench and others where he was a starter, but always ended up being substituted.

Rigoni's return for São Paulo could be against Botafogo, on September 14, at 5:30 pm (Brasília time), at Morumbis, for the Brazilian Championship. It will be the Tricolor's first game after the break for the Fifa date.
