Chelsea is set to land Crystal Palace’s Maxence Lacroix in a blockbuster deal reportedly finalized at the ownership level — with medical expected soon and a long-term contract potentially running to 2032. The towering, lightning-fast French defender, who made 55 appearances last season and helped Palace win their first major European trophy, is a standout with 60+ tackles, 200+ duels won, and 250+ clearances. A key figure in France’s World Cup squad, Lacroix’s blend of size, speed, and versatility makes him a perfect fit for Chelsea’s backline under Xabi Alonso.
