On 1 July 2015, Loé moved to Qatar after agreeing to a contract with Al-Sailiya SC.[10] The free agent returned to the Spanish top flight and Osasuna on 6 February 2017, signing until the end of the season.[11]

On 31 August 2017, Loé joined Bulgarian club PFC CSKA Sofia,[12] being released at the end of the campaign.[13] On 20 June 2018, he signed with AC Omonia from Cyprus.[14]
