Chelsea is nearing an agreement to secure Maxence Lacroix from Crystal Palace. Both Premier League sides are currently finalizing discussions regarding a permanent move for the French defender.
According to Sky Sports News, Palace is holding out for a transfer fee exceeding the 55 million pounds Tottenham recently paid to Brighton for Jan Paul van Hecke. The two clubs have a history of successful business, having previously completed transfers for players including Trevoh Chalobah and Ben Chilwell.
Seeking to bolster their defense, Chelsea is prioritizing the addition of a physically dominant centre-back who already possesses experience in the English top flight. The London club maintains the financial flexibility to complete this move, having generated approximately 130 million pounds through player sales during the current window.
