Frías to Santos, Rigoni to São Paulo Confirmed as León Faces Registration Squeeze

The departures leave León seeking reinforcements under a 12 September registration cutoff.

Overview

  • Santos FC and São Paulo announced the arrivals of Adonis Frías and Emiliano Rigoni on September 2 via their official channels.
  • Frías moves from León to Santos on a transfer and was presented with a contract running through December 31, 2028, with the fee reported at about $3 million.
  • Rigoni terminated his León deal and joined São Paulo as a free agent after reaching a contract rescission.
  • León now has two non-Mexican-developed player slots open and must register any replacements by September 12 at 19:00.
  • Frías was a frequent starter and captain-level figure, Rigoni had seen limited minutes, and Frías’s deal reportedly required his representative to act as a payment guarantor.
