After a spell with the 'yellows', 36-year-old footballer Jonathan Viera Ramos will play his final home league game this Sunday against Real Zaragoza. Although he is leaving the club, Viera has stated that "I still have plenty of football left", leaving the door open to continue his professional career.
The '21' has been a key figure in the team's promotions, including their return to the First Division in the 2022-2023 season. With 291 appearances and 78 goals across five stints, he ranks as the sixth all-time top scorer for UD Las Palmas. His career also includes international experience.
Recently, Viera returned to the field after a period of absence, showcasing his talent and generating excitement. Coach Luis García Fernández defended his importance, highlighting his experience, composure, and calmness in crucial match moments, both on and off the pitch.

The player, who has played 180 matches in the Second Division and 155 in the First Division, will now aim to help Arucas CF reach the Segunda RFEF, according to sources close to his agent.
Viera's last league match at the Estadio de Gran Canaria will be against a bottom-placed Real Zaragoza, who need a miracle to avoid relegation. The game is set to be the stage for the farewell of a club icon.
