Following his loan in Iraq, Shafareddine was loaned out to Safa for the 2021–22 Lebanese Premier League,[9] playing 14 league games. He then returned to Nejmeh from his loan in July 2022, and renewed his contract in August 2022.[10] Following Nejmeh's termination of Sharefeddine's contract after the first half of the 2022–23 Lebanese Premier League, the player returned to Safa in December 2022.[11] [12] On 31 May 2024, Sharafeddine renewed his contract with Safa for three years, until 2027.[13]
