Jefferson Lerma extends contract with Crystal Palace

Colombian midfielder Jefferson Lerma has signed a contract extension with Crystal Palace, committing to the club for an additional two seasons. The 31-year-old will remain with the London-based team until June 2028.

Lerma, who holds the record for the most appearances by a Colombian player in the Premier League, has been a key figure for the club since joining in 2023. His recent tenure includes contributing to the club's success in competitions such as the FA Cup and the Community Shield. The renewal ends recent transfer speculation regarding potential moves to clubs in Spain or elsewhere.

His continued presence in the Premier League is noted as a positive for the Colombia national team, where he remains an important veteran presence.
