Ahead of the 2016–17 Argentine Primera División season, Rigamonti made a loan move to Quilmes.[4] He went onto play in all thirty of Quilmes' league fixtures, in a campaign that ended in relegation to Primera B Nacional.[1] On 3 August 2017, Rigamonti was loaned out for the fifth time as he joined Vélez Sarsfield.[5][6]
