According to information from FT, Beşiktaş has opened negotiations for Crystal Palace's Jefferson Lerma, with a potential transfer materializing on the final day of the Turkish transfer window. The 30-year-old Colombian has a contract in London that runs until 2026. After being a key figure under Oliver Glasner last season, Lerma has been utilized mostly as a substitute during the current campaign. The defensive midfielder was signed by Palace on a free transfer two years ago, which was seven years after his move to AFC Bournemouth for a fee exceeding 30 million euros. Following 164 appearances in the Premier League, Turkey could be his next stop. The player's current market value is listed at €10 million by Transfermarkt.
