Crystal Palace have announced that Jeffrey Schlupp will leave the club upon expiry of his contract on 30 June 2025.
Schlupp arrived at Palace in January 2017 from Leicester and has gone on to score 19 goals in 247 appearances across eight-and-a-half years, and this season featured in the Eagles’ Third Round victory over Stockport County en-route to their eventual maiden FA Cup title amongst 16 appearances.
The Ghana international however joined Celtic on loan in February and scored once in 18 appearances, as he helped the Hoops secure the Scottish Premiership title for a fourth consecutive season.
Palace and Schlupp has since decided to part company at the end of the season following discussions, as the 32-year-old described his time at Selhurst Park as a “incredible” period of his career.
“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.”
Palace Chairman, Steve Parish praised Schlupp for his “important contribution” to the club as a versatile player across the pitch.
“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.”
