Brilliant for his debut with the French team, the Crystal Palace defender caught the eye of many recruiters.
Real Madrid are working behind the scenes to strengthen their rearguard and are taking a close interest in Maxence Lacroix. The Crystal Palace defender, author of solid performances in the Premier League, is one of the profiles studied by the Madrid recruitment unit. At 25, the former Sochaux player reached a milestone this season, making his first selection with the French team against Brazil, confirming his progress.
All of Europe is fighting over Lacroix
Faced with uncertainty around other prospects like Ibrahima Konaté (Liverpool), Real Madrid is broadening its options and sees in Lacroix a defender capable of bringing power and speed to its hinge. But the Spanish club will face strong competition, with Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea and Bayern Munich also monitoring its situation closely.
Under contract until 2029 with Crystal Palace and estimated at around 40 million euros, Maxence Lacroix will not be easy to dislodge. Author of 28 appearances this season, he has established himself as one of the most coveted defenders on the market. It now remains to be seen whether Real Madrid will go on the offensive in this matter or will favor another avenue to solidify its defense during the next summer transfer window.
