Chelsea to Finalise £48m Maxence Lacroix Deal After World Cup
1 / 3
New manager Xabi Alonso is reshaping Chelsea’s defence after a difficult season under Liam Rosenior. The Blues have already signed Marco Palestra from Atalanta for £51m. French outlet L’Équipe reports Chelsea will move for Crystal Palace centre-back Maxence Lacroix once the 2026 World Cup concludes. The France international is valued at about £48m. Lacroix still has three years left on his contract after his £18m move from Wolfsburg in 2024. He helped Palace win the FA Cup and Conference League and is expected to slot straight into Alonso’s starting lineup.
