Back in the Swiss Super League, he was one of the few players who remained in the starting lineup from their promotion season. Despite this, following the 2021-22 season, he chose to not renew his contract with Grasshoppers.{{cite news|url=https://www.gcz.ch/en/news/news/article/start-of-training-for-the-hoppers/|title=START OF TRAINING FOR THE HOPPERS|language=English|publisher=Grasshopper Club Zürich|date=2022-06-17|access-date=2022-06-18|archive-date=2022-11-17|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221117140215/https://www.gcz.ch/en/news/news/article/start-of-training-for-the-hoppers/|url-status=dead}} On 22 June 2022, he returned to his native Ticino, signing a three-year contract with cup champions FC Lugano.{{cite web|title=Dal Grasshopper arriva Allan Arigoni|url=https://www.fclugano.com/dal-grasshopper-arriva-allan-arigoni/|language=it |accessdate=2022-06-23|website=fclugano.ch|publisher=FC Lugano|date=2022-06-22}}
