Overview

• Independiente and Club León have reached advanced terms on a six-month loan for Emiliano Rigoni, with an option to extend the deal until the end of the year when his León contract expires.
• The move was driven by coach Julio Vaccari’s focus on strengthening wide-attacking options on the flanks.
• Negotiators must resolve a salary dispute, as Independiente requires Rigoni to take a significant pay cut to fit the club’s budget.
• Rigoni has scored one goal and provided one assist in 14 appearances for León this semester, with his playing time limited by a hamstring injury.
• Final approval requires completion of paperwork and Rigoni’s acceptance of the revised contract terms ahead of Thursday’s transfer deadline.
