On 13 August 2020, Calderón joined Portuguese Primeira Liga side Paços de Ferreira on a one-year loan deal.[3] He made his professional debut on 27 September, replacing Stephen Eustáquio late into a 2–0 home loss to Sporting CP.[4]

Calderón featured rarely while on loan, playing only 171 minutes before returning to Real Madrid in June 2021.[5]
