Lerma agrees new two-year Crystal Palace contract to 2028

Jefferson Lerma has agreed a new two-year contract with Crystal Palace, taking the midfielder’s deal through to 2028. Sami Mokbel reports that the development was first detailed on Thursday morning.

The report states the versatile midfielder has reached terms on fresh conditions that will cover the next two seasons. There has been no official confirmation from Palace at this stage.

An agreement of this kind indicates that the key points between player and club have been settled, while final paperwork, registrations and a formal announcement may still be to follow. Until the club confirms it, the terms remain subject to completion of those steps.

For Palace, tying down a senior midfield option for two more years would provide continuity in an area of the squad that often underpins selection and balance. For the player, it reflects a commitment to remain central to the club’s plans over the period covered by the new deal.

Specific financial details or clauses have not been disclosed. The report adds that the agreement runs to 2028, which would align with a standard two-season horizon and offers clarity on the medium-term shape of Palace’s midfield options.

Contract renewals are typically announced by clubs once documentation is signed and processed, so a public confirmation could follow once formalities are complete. The timing, reported on Thursday, suggests the club is moving to secure key personnel alongside any late-window business.
