After Millonarios released the 40-year-old striker in June 2026, early-July reports suggested he might return for a second half-season, a move some described as his “last dance”. The club’s promotional campaign highlighted the possibility, but no new contract was signed before his June expiry and tax issues remained unresolved. In late July, rumors of a transfer to Panama’s San Francisco FC resurfaced. On 29 July, reports indicated a 90% chance of a deal after Falcão was spotted in Panama City and enrolled his children in a local school. However, on 31 July, San Francisco FC issued a statement denying any formal agreement and asked the media to respect Falcão’s privacy, clarifying there were no plans for him to join their roster. In early August, Falcão revealed in an interview that European giants AC Milan, Juventus, and Arsenal had recently come close to signing him. He also noted he had declined a move to River Plate to preserve his image in Argentina. By mid-August, Falcão confirmed he has relocated to Panama, describing the move as a family decision. He stated he is not currently focused on his professional football future, has no immediate plans to join a new club or pursue coaching, and is instead studying sports management through a FIFA course. On 15 August, Falcão attended the San Francisco FC versus Club Atlético Independiente derby in Panama as a special guest alongside Fredy Guarín. During a press conference, he addressed rumors regarding the Panama Football League or a coaching role at San Francisco FC, clarifying that he has not officially retired as a player nor is he arriving as a coach. He reiterated that his presence in Panama is part of a temporary family project and noted a close friendship with San Francisco FC owner José Jimeno.
