Crystal Palace will require a fee of £50 million for defender Maxence Lacroix as Chelsea expresses interest in acquiring him. The negotiations arise as Chelsea aims to strengthen their defense under coach Xabi Alonso. Palace previously sold Marc Guehi to Manchester City in January and are reluctant to lose Lacroix, but they may consider the deal if they can secure a replacement. Lacroix joined Palace from Wolfsburg for £18 million in 2024, indicating a substantial potential profit for the club if the transfer goes through.
