Career
Colón
Vigo joined Colón's academy in 2009 from Liga Santafesina team UNL.[1][2] His senior career got underway during the 2018–19 season, with the defender being an unused substitute in July 2018 for a Copa Argentina victory over Deportivo Morón.[4] He made his professional debut six months later, featuring for the full duration of a Primera División fixture with Argentinos Juniors on 28 January 2019; having signed his first professional contract on 23 January.[4][5][6] Vigo featured ten times in his first campaign, which included three appearances in the Copa Sudamericana as they reached the final; where he'd start, though Colón would lose to Independiente del Valle.[4]
River Plate
On 19 February 2021, Vigo completed a transfer to fellow Primera División team River Plate; twelve months on from rejecting the move due to personal issues.[1][7] He was bought for a fee around 1.75 million euros.
On 7 February 2022, Vigo was loaned out to Independiente until the end of 2022 with a purchase option of 2.5 million dollars for 50 percent of the pass.[8]
Personal life
Vigo was born under the name Alex Gómez, the surname of his mother.[1] However, aged 10, a judge ordered that he and his sister, Aixa, had to take their biological father's surname of Vigo, despite the latter leaving their mother weeks before Alex's birth.[1] Vigo's mother, Verónica, had initiated the court case due to the effects of the father's departure, which led to food shortages due to low income.[1] Vigo was born in Colastiné Sur, where his home would regularly flood from the nearby Paraná River.[1] He rejected a transfer offer from River Plate in early 2020 as he wanted to remain in Colastiné Sur to help his family contain the constant flooding.[1]
