The former Leicester City man is severing ties with the English top-flight campaigners ahead of the upcoming summer transfer window
Ghana international attacking midfielder Jeffrey Schlupp is parting company with Premier League side Crystal Palace ahead of the 2025-26 football season, the club have announced.
The 32-year-old experienced versatile midfielder is ending his marriage with the Selhurst Park outfit after spending eight-and-a-half-year football seasons together since joining them from Leicester City in 2017.
An excerpt of official confirmation over the departure of the former Brentford loanee read: ''An important and trusted member of the squad under numerous managers at Selhurst Park, the 32-year-old has made 247 appearances for the club since moving to South London from Leicester City in January 2017.''
''Schlupp’s pace, athleticism and diligence off the ball made him a regular pick in numerous Palace squads, and his willingness to fulfil a variety of roles across the pitch – as well as his eye for a spectacular goal – rendered him a fan favourite in SE25.''
Schlupp said ''it's been an incredible eight years playing for this club,'' as he bids an emotional farewell to his employers and their fan base, telling the club's official website: ''It's been an incredible eight years playing for this club.''
"I've met some great people – the Chairman, the gaffer, and all the staff I've met over the years – and it's meant a lot to have played for Crystal Palace. A big 'thank you' to this group, who have achieved something so special.''
"You ask anybody about the Palace fans, and they know about the atmosphere that they create, and the amount of times they've pulled us through in difficult times. They've been our 12th man – so thank you to all the fans who have always supported me.''
"Hopefully I've done you proud. I'll definitely see you again soon.''
Club's chairman Steve Parish added: ''Across nine separate seasons with Crystal Palace, Jeffrey has made many an important contribution to the Football Club – and scored some incredible goals!''
“Whatever has been asked of him – whatever the role, whenever the time – he has given his utmost to, and it speaks volumes that he has made such a great impression in different systems and under different managers.''
“Successful squads are built on players of Jeffrey’s calibre and character, and we have much to thank him for as he moves on from SE25. He leaves with our heartfelt gratitude, and the very best wishes of everyone at Crystal Palace."
Before severing ties with the London-based club, he made 247 appearances for the club since linking up with them from Leicester City in January 2017.
He is currently boasting of 20 caps with the Ghana Senior National Team, the Black Stars, with a goal to his name since switching nationality allegiance to represent the West African powerhouse in November 2011.
