Not finding any playing time, in January 2014 he was loaned to Padova in Serie B where he made 10 appearances with one goal. He was then loaned to Perugia (15 appearances), then Zurich where he played for both the main team as well as the second one.


Back at Lazio in 2016, after six months in which he never played, he was sold to AEK Athens. He played two half seasons with very few appearances (just 13 with one goal) before he returned to Brazil. He stayed another four years in his home country where he played, very little, for Chapecoense, Botafogo and Joinville. In 2022 he signed for Hamrun Spartans in Malta and stayed for a year. He did not find another team until 2024 when he joined Francavilla in Serie D.

 

Like many players Igli Tare bought, he had potential but never managed to show it.
