Currently, the Canarian midfielder has not received any offers from Saudi football where he wanted to play, which is why he motivated the Indálico team to convince him with a great proposal.
Since leaving UD Las Palmas, Jonathan Viera has stated that he would only have one eye on Saudi Arabia, but UD Almería can change that. So far, the attacking midfielder has not received a single offer from the Arab League. Behind the wheel, of course He was called Hypermotion by many teams in LaLigaand some from the first league.
From this last game, Almería seemed ready to sign him with an attractive contract in terms of what he will play. And the owner of the Almeriensista team is convinced that his team can retain its category and play in the top flight next season. To achieve this, he needs players of the caliber of Jonathan Viera.
Almería’s offer to Jonathan Viera
Turki Al-Sheikh, president and owner of the red and white team, gave him a contract until June 30 with a salary of 1.1 million euros. The contract document also provides for an extension option at the same salary, i.e. 2.2 kilos, for the entire season, which in this case would be 2024-25.
Viera could accept the offer, but he has no plans to continue in Almería beyond this summer. The reasons are simple. Firstly, the Saudi Professional League is still on his radar and the midfielder is optimistic that he will have a great offer by the summer market. Secondly, he does not want to play in the second division if the Indálico club does not manage to stay this season.
The owner of Almería promises to help Jonathan Viera get to Arabia
Given that the 34-year-old midfielder definitely wants to play on the Asian continent, the Arab sheikh has a great idea. If the Canarian footballer agrees to play for the Indálico club for the rest of this season, Turki Al-Sheikh will help the former Palmas become a good team in the Saudi league. Of course, the Arab businessman has numerous contacts and friends there.
This is undoubtedly a good strategy as Jonathan Viera would ensure promotion to the Saudi Professional League while continuing to earn money for the rest of the season. However, there is still no clear answer from the midfielder. Let’s remember that there is still a deadline to implement his signing since the midfielder is in free agency.
