Crystal Palace are in the final stages of negotiations with Will Hughes over a contract extension at Selhurst Park, sources have told Football Insider.
Hughes’ current deal expires this summer, but Palace are eager to put an end to speculation by securing his long-term future. Earlier this year (1 January), Football Insider reported that Brentford, West Ham, and Fulham were closely monitoring the 29-year-old’s contract situation.
Hughes set to extend stay at Selhurst Park
Since arriving from Watford in 2021, Hughes has been a key figure for Palace. He last signed a contract extension in May 2024 and has featured prominently under Oliver Glasner this season.
Will Hughes’ 2024-25 stats (all competitions):
Appearances (Starts): 30 (24)
Minutes Played: 2,064
Goals: 0
Assists: 4

He captained Palace in their Premier League win over Southampton in December and has now made 113 appearances for the club. While mainly deployed as a defensive midfielder, he has also played in more advanced roles under Glasner.
Palace bracing for summer transfer interest
Palace are also preparing for potential offers for some of their star players. Football Insider revealed on 13 March that the club hopes to retain midfielder Adam Wharton, despite strong interest from Liverpool, Man City, and Real Madrid.
Additionally, Marc Guehi, Eberechi Eze, and Jean-Philippe Mateta are expected to attract significant attention in the summer transfer window.
