Finally, UD Las Palmas has terminated the contract of the 18-year-old player, Joel Domínguez. However, it was not because of his conviction for gender violence but because of indiscipline. The insular team has reported in a statement that “Joel Domínguez does not continue in the yellow entity and has informed the player of the termination of his contract for disciplinary reasons.”

The club, despite his sentence and the fact that it still had two pending cases, decided, at first, to defend the player and even announced that it would start the preseason with the first team that, this year, had achieved promotion to LaLiga EA Sports.

However, the entity ended up not finally summoning him to the stage that the team carries out in Marbella and neither summoning him with the subsidiary nor with the third team. Now, player and club separate their paths. Apparently, neither the coach Francisco Javier García Pimienta nor the sports management had the footballer.

In March of this year, the player had been arrested for beating his partner. After admitting the facts, Domínguez would be sentenced for a crime of gender violence by the Court of Violence against Women No. 1 of Las Palmas to 40 days of community work, one year away and two more without a weapons permit..

The footballer himself would admit the facts, but UD Las Palmas would not exercise any disciplinary measure against him. The club simply argued that the attack had occurred in the “field of his private life”, and in its statement it did not include a single mention or message of support for the victim.
