Crystal Palace club captain Luka Milojevic will leave the club at the end of the season upon the expiration of his contract.
Milojevic, 32, joined Palace in 2017 and has made 198 appearances in all competitions for the side.
“It has been a privilege to spend almost seven years at such a special club,” Milojevic said. “I want to thank all of the managers, coaches and staff members who made my stay here such an enjoyable one.
“When I look at the club now compared to when I arrived, I see a team full of ambition to reach higher and higher — you can be sure I will be following the results from afar.
“To the fans: there is something special about Selhurst Park, and the way you got behind me on the field, whether we were winning or losing, is something I will never forget. To play in the Premier League is every player’s dream, and to do it for so long at Crystal Palace has been an honor – I hope that I have made you all proud.”
Milojevic has taken on a slightly reduced role at Palace over the last two years, owing in part to injury.
The former Serbia international has made only 18 league appearances this season and made just 15 in 2021-22.
Though he is a midfielder, Milojevic sits third on Palace’s all-time Premier League scorers’ list. His 28 goals are bettered only by Christian Benteke (35) and Wilfried Zaha (68).
“We have been lucky to have a professional like Luka at the club for so long,” added chairman Steve Parish. “He has contributed an immense amount to the team both on and off the pitch and is a crucial figure in our long stay in the Premier League.
“His performances in red and blue have only been matched by his dedication on the training pitch, providing leadership to the squad and advice to young players in his role as club captain. I wish him the very best of luck for the future.”
