We implement the Gravitational Decoupling through the Minimal Geometric Deformation method and explore its effect on exterior solutions by imposing a regularity condition in the Tolman--Oppenheimer--Volkoff equation of the decoupling sector. We obtain that the decoupling function can be expressed formally in terms of an integral involving the $g_{tt}$ component of the metric of the seed solution. As a particular example, we implement the method by using the Schwarzschild exterior as a seed and we obtain that the asymptotic behavior of the extended geometry corresponds to a manifold with constant curvature.
