On 27 August 2020, Soni agreed to a one-year loan deal with another reserve team, Villarreal CF B also in division three.[8] The following 2 February, he moved to fellow league team Celta de Vigo B, while still owned by Girona.[9]

On 16 June 2021, Soni signed a three-year deal with the Greek Superleague club Asteras Tripolis FC.[10] On 27 November 2021, Soni scored a brace and gave two assists, helping his club prevail over Atromitos FC 6–2 for Super League, making one of his best appearances with Milan Rastavac on its bench. He was voted man of the match for his performance.[11]
