In the following seasons, Juanan represented in quick succession Újpest FC (Hungary), Recreativo de Huelva and CD Leganés,^[8] being relegated from the second tier with the second club and only appearing in the Copa del Rey with the third.^[9] On 3 February 2016, he signed with Rayo OKC from the North American Soccer League,^[10] being released from his contract on 11 July.^[11]

Juanan joined I-League champions Bengaluru FC on 8 August 2016, on a one-year deal.^[12] On 3 March 2018, the 31-year-old further renewed his link until 2020,^[13] agreeing to a new two-year extension that year.^[14]
