On 6 August 2019, Montes returned to his home country and was loaned to CF Badalona in the third division, for one year.[9] He moved to fellow Cypriot side Nea Salamina Famagusta FC on 14 September 2020, also on loan.[10]

On 24 December 2020, Montes signed a contract with Unionistas de Salamanca CF back in his country's third tier.[11] He immediately became a regular starter for the side, scoring six goals in the 2021–22 Primera División RFEF.
