Maxence Lacroix, a 25-year-old French center-back, will be a new player for Chelsea. The London club has reached an agreement with Crystal Palace for his transfer for 52 million pounds, with the offer already accepted and the player undergoing a medical examination before signing a contract until June 2032.

The operation is now only pending official confirmation. The agreement between both clubs was sealed in the last few hours, and the defender is already in London to complete the final procedures before becoming a new player for the team managed by Xabi Alonso.

Maxence Lacroix strengthens Xabi Alonso's Chelsea project

Chelsea continues to reinforce its squad in this summer market, and Maxence Lacroix will be a new piece for the defense of the Spanish coach. The London club had already signed Morgan Rogers, Geovany Quenda, Marco Palestra, Emmanuel Emegha, and Valentín Barco this summer, to which now is added the center-back from Crystal Palace.

The transfer will be completed for 52 million pounds and will not include Axel Disasi as part of the negotiation, although this possibility was considered during the conversations between both entities. Once the medical examination is passed, Lacroix will sign a contract for seven seasons, until 2032.

From Crystal Palace to Chelsea after establishing himself in the Premier League

After excelling in the Bundesliga with Wolfsburg, Maxence Lacroix moved to Crystal Palace, where he confirmed his adaptation to English football. During the last season, he played 39 official matches, scored a goal, and provided two assists, establishing himself as one of the most reliable center-backs in the Premier League.

This performance convinced Chelsea, who sought to reinforce their defensive line with a player experienced in the English league and with room for growth. At 25 years old, the Frenchman arrives at Stamford Bridge in one of the best moments of his career.

Xabi Alonso adds a new piece to a developing squad

The addition of Maxence Lacroix responds to the plan designed by Xabi Alonso, who is shaping a squad with the aim of competing for major titles. The Spanish coach had requested reinforcement in the center of defense, and the club responded with a significant investment to secure the arrival of the French international.

With the medical examination already underway and all documentation prepared, the next step will be the official announcement of the signing. Maxence Lacroix will thus become one of the most significant moves for Chelsea in this summer market, while Crystal Palace will receive 52 million pounds for the sale of one of their key players.
