After featuring regularly, Scarpa returned to Flu in May 2015. He started to feature more regularly for the first team managed by Enderson Moreira, often appearing as a left back. He scored his first Serie A goal on 9 July, netting the game's only in a home success over Cruzeiro.
On 28 September 2015, Scarpa renewed his contract until 2019, and finished the year as an undisputed starter. A mainstay in Fluminense's starting eleven during the 2016 campaign, he scored eight goals in the year's Brasileirao; highlights included a double in a 2–2 away draw against Internacional.
Scarpa started the 2017 season with four goals in six appearances, netting consecutive goals against Resende (1–0 home win), Portuguesa-RJ (3–0 away win), Bangu (4–0 home win) and Globo (5–2 away win); the latter came from the halfway line.
