Despite this, Palace remains optimistic that they can secure Derry to a new contract. This is partly due to his exceptional talent and the fact that he is the son of former Palace captain and coach Shaun Derry, who is highly respected in the English football scene.

Palace has also made some changes to their squad recently. The club has announced that Chimaechi Eze, the younger brother of Eberchi Eze, has been released. This decision affects several high-profile players, including Louie Moulden, Luke Plange, and Jadan Raymond.

It will be interesting to see how Palace's efforts to retain Derry pay off in the coming weeks. The club's determination to keep him at the team is a testament to their commitment to developing young talent.
