Crystal Palace's Jefferson Lerma has been linked with Vasco da Gama, but reports from Brazil and Colombia indicate a move is complex. Brazilian journalist Jorge Nicola reported that a deal appears unrealistic, citing Lerma's substantial salary and his contract which runs until June 2027. Journalist Gabriel Meluk stated that Lerma's deployment as a third centre-back has caused concern for the Colombian national team staff, and the player has also been linked with Beşiktaş.
