In July 2025, following Mafra's relegation to Liga 3, Falé moved to Greece, joining Greek Super League club Panserraikos.[8]
On 3 January 2026, after failing to score in eight appearances for Panserraikos, Falé returned to Portugal, joining Liga Portugal 2 club Paços de Ferreira on a contract until June 2028.[9]
