Crystal Palace are in talks to sign Wolfsburg’s Maxence Lacroix due to Marc Guehi’s potential departure, with Lacroix seeking a new challenge.
Lacroix has one year left on his contract with Wolfsburg, prompting the Bundesliga club to consider his potential departure this summer.
Guehi’s potential exit, along with other transfers, will provide Palace with ample funds to make significant signings in preparation for the new season.
Crystal Palace have reportedly opened talks to sign Wolfsburg centre-back Maxence Lacroix as the transfer window continnues to tick down – with Eagles boss Oliver Glasner looking at defensive reinforcements to prepare for the eventual sale of Palace star Marc Guehi.
Guehi starred for England at EURO 2024 alongside John Stones at the back, being a key player in their chase for a major trophy; and despite falling short in the final, his performances piqued the interests of many of England’s top teams as clubs look to strengthen ahead of the Premier League season. And with that in mind, the Eagles have reportedly opened negotiations for Lacroix as they aim to bolster their back line ahead of the new campaign, which starts in just over a week.

Crystal Palace ‘Open’ Lacroix Negotiations
The report from L’Equipe suggests that Palace have entered negotiations with Wolfsburg over the potential acquisition of Lacroix, with the Frenchman having just one year left on his contract.

As a result, the Bundesliga club could see their defender part ways after a four-year spell at the Volkswagen Arena, with Lacroix informing the club that he wants to pursue a new challenge and leave the club in the process. With his contract having just under 11 months left to run, Wolfsburg have seemingly been forced to search for potential suitors so that they don’t lose him on a free transfer news season – and that could see the 24-year-old move on this summer.
