Viera playing for Las Palmas in 2011

Born in Las Palmas, Viera finished his youth career with hometown club Las Palmas, where he earned the nickname Romário.[2] He made his senior debut with the reserve team, appearing in ten Segunda División B games in the 2008–09 season and suffering relegation. On 18 February 2010, he renewed his contract until June 2013.[3]

Viera was definitely promoted to the main squad for 2010–11, as the team competed in the Segunda División.[4] He finished the campaign with 31 matches (26 starts) and six goals, including three in a 5–3 away win against Barcelona B on 15 May 2011, which all but certified the Canary Islands side's permanence.[5]

In January 2012, amidst rumours of a transfer – Las Palmas inclusively had everything arranged with Granada but the deal eventually fell through – Viera assured he would stay with his club until the end of the season.[6] He finished as the second-best top scorer in the squad at nine, only trailing another youth graduate, Vitolo, by one goal.[7]

Valencia

[edit | edit source]

On 6 May 2012, one month before the Las Palmas season ended, Viera signed with La Liga's Valencia for five years and €2.5 million.[8][9] He made his official debut against Barcelona, playing 13 minutes of a 1–0 away loss.[10]

Viera scored his first goal in the top flight on 29 September 2012, closing the 2–0 home victory over Real Zaragoza.[11] On 30 August of the following year, he was loaned to Madrid-based Rayo Vallecano in a season-long move without the option of making the deal permanent afterwards.[12]

Standard Liège

[edit | edit source]

On 1 September 2014, Viera cut ties with Valencia,[13] immediately joining Standard Liège.[14] He appeared in only seven competitive matches during his spell in Belgium, scoring in a 2–1 group stage defeat at Feyenoord in the UEFA Europa League.[15]

Return to Las Palmas

[edit | edit source]

On 14 January 2015, Viera was loaned to Las Palmas until June.[16] He contributed seven goals in 21 appearances, as his team returned to the top division after a 13-year absence.[17]

Viera signed a permanent three-year deal on 14 July 2015, for €900,000.[18]

Beijing Guoan

[edit | edit source]

On 19 February 2018, Viera joined Chinese Super League club Beijing Sinobo Guoan on a four-year contract for a fee of around €11 million. The player acknowledged the transfer "took care" of his future,[19][20] and Las Palmas retained a buy-back option in the future.[17] On 7 April 2019, he was named the competition's Player of the Month for the previous month.[21]

Viera completed the second hat-trick of his career on 28 April 2019, by scoring three goals in a 4–1 home defeat of Dalian Yifang in the domestic league.[22] In August, he was loaned to Las Palmas until the end of the year.[23]

Third spell at Las Palmas

[edit | edit source]

On 23 August 2021, Viera returned to Las Palmas on a five-year contract.[24] He scored a personal best 14 goals in his first season,[25] adding seven in the following for the runners-up who thus returned to the top tier.[26]

On 14 December 2023, the 34-year-old Viera left by mutual agreement.[27] Shortly before that, he had briefly put his career on hold to take care of his sick wife.[28]

Almería

[edit | edit source]

On 6 February 2024, Viera joined top-flight Almería on a deal running until June 2025.[29] On 15 July, however, after suffering relegation, he was allowed to terminate his link.[30]

Later career

[edit | edit source]

On 17 July 2024, Viera signed a one-year contract with UAE Pro League club Khor Fakkan.[31] He scored on his debut, a 5–1 away loss against Al Ain;[32] in September, however, he severed his ties.[33]

Viera joined Johor Darul Ta'zim of the Malaysia Super League on 4 February 2025.[34] On 12 July, the 35-year-old returned to Las Palmas for a fourth stint, signing a one-year contract.[35]

International career

[edit | edit source]

Viera played once with the Spain under-21s, featuring the last minutes of the 1–1 friendly draw with Belarus in Alcalá de Henares.[36] On 9 October 2017, as the full side had already qualified as group champions for the 2018 FIFA World Cup, manager Julen Lopetegui handed him his debut, and he played the entire 1–0 away win over Israel.[37]
