In July 2013 he went on loan to Spanish club Osasuna.[3]

On 31 January 2014 he signed a four-year contract with Danish side Brøndby.[4] He made his debut for the club on 24 February 2014, appearing as a substitute for the final seven minutes of the game.[5] He scored his first goal for the club on 30 March 2014, in the 1–0 away victory against Viborg. The goal was also the first goal by a Paraguayan player in the league.[6]
