On 29 January 2015, Varela joined FC Porto and was immediately assigned to the reserves.[3] He made his debut on 15 August, coming on as a second-half substitute for João Graça in a 2–1 away win against CD Santa Clara.[4]

On 21 January 2018, Varela was loaned to Primeira Liga side Portimonense S.C. until the end of the season.[5] He made his debut in the category eight days later, playing the last ten minutes in a 4–1 home routing of Rio Ave FC.

On 30 July 2018, Varela returned to Spain after agreeing to a one-year loan deal with Segunda División side CF Rayo Majadahonda.[6] The following 4 July, he signed a permanent three-year deal with La Liga side CD Leganés.[7] On 30 December 2019, he joined UD Las Palmas on loan until June.[8]
