Besiktas Makes Transfer Move for Crystal Palace Player Jefferson Lerma
Continuing its search for a midfielder in the final hours of the transfer window, the black-and-white club has targeted the Colombian footballer playing in the English Premier League.
Besiktas has initiated official efforts to add 31-year-old Colombian midfielder Jefferson Lerma, who plays for Crystal Palace, to its squad in the final hours of the transfer window.
Final Hours in Midfielder Search
The Besiktas management carried out intensive work to make a midfield reinforcement before the transfer window closed. Having failed to achieve results from talks with various candidates on its list, the black-and-whites made a new move at the last moment.
Jefferson Lerma Comes to the Agenda
According to information in Colombian press sources, Besiktas has included 31-year-old experienced midfielder Jefferson Lerma, who plays for English Premier League team Crystal Palace, on its transfer list.
No Playing Time in the English Team
Jefferson Lerma, whom Crystal Palace did not include in its UEFA Europa League squad, has not yet found any official match time in the English team this season. This development has strengthened the possibility of the experienced player leaving the team.
Last Season's Performance
The experienced footballer appeared in a total of 48 matches last season while contributing 6 assists to his team. Lerma, who has a current market value of 6 million Euros, has a contract with his club that will end in 2027.
