In July 2011, Bacari signed with RCD Espanyol B.^[7] On 3 December he made his first La Liga appearance with the first team, replacing Álvaro Vázquez in the dying minutes of a 1–2 away defeat against Valencia CF.^[8] On 20 July of the following year he joined CE L'Hospitalet, in the third level.^[9]

After being Hospi's second top scorer during his only season, only behind Sergio Cirio, Bacari moved to Bulgarian with PFC Cherno More Varna.^[10]
