São Paulo seeks hiring the hiring of striker Emiliano Rigoni, who had passed through Sao Paulo between 2021 and 2022. The player would have been a request from coach Hernán Crespo. The information is from “ESPN”.

Rigoni was asked by Curly by the athlete to have played with the coach in his first ticket in Sao Paulo in 2021. The Argentine played 70 matches for Tricolor, with 13 goals and nine assists.
At the time, Rigoni was hired by Sao Paulo with Elche, from Spain, for 3.8 million euros – R $ 24 million for the current price. The athlete became a starter with curly, but lost space after the coach’s departure.
Rigoni’s arrival would be to supply the absence of strikers in the São Paulo cast due to the series of injuries that plagued the team. Strikers Calleri, Ryan Francisco and André Silva, as well as the half-affected Lucas and Oscar are out of combat.
