Jefferson Lerma has signed a new two-year contract with Crystal Palace.
Lerma, who joined the club in 2023, was in the final year of his original contract but has now extended his stay until 2028.

At 31 years old, he has made 121 appearances across all competitions since arriving at Selhurst Park after leaving Bournemouth.
The Colombian international has been part of the club’s most successful era, playing a key role in their FA Cup victory in 2025 and their wins in the Community Shield and Conference League last season.
His experience will be invaluable to a Palace side that has recently lost key players Maxence Lacroix and Marc Guehi. Additionally, Lerma’s ability to play in both midfield and defense will provide crucial flexibility for new manager Pierre Sage.
Lerma has also represented Colombia 70 times, starting all five of their matches at the World Cup before they exited in the Round of 16.
