On 18 July 2019, Serafim moved to Alverca. However, he only featured with the B-team in the Lison FA Second Division.

### Return to Brazil

Ahead of the 2020 season, Serafim returned to his home country and joined Primavera. In October of that year, he was registered in the squad of União Barbarense for the Campeonato Paulista Segunda Divisão, before moving to Monte Azul the following February.
