Episode Details

Chelsea are set to land Maxence Lacroix in a major transfer coup, with the defender poised to undergo his medical at Stamford Bridge. Signed from Wolfsburg for £18 million in 2024, Lacroix has already become a title-winning force at Crystal Palace — helping them clinch the FA Cup, Community Shield, and Europa Conference League in his debut season. His international pedigree is equally impressive, with key contributions to France’s World Cup semi-final run and seven senior caps since his debut this year. Palace, already reeling from the loss of Marc Guehi, are now scrambling to find a replacement, eyeing options like Ruben Kluivert and Charlie Cresswell. Chelsea’s attempt to sweeten the deal with players like Disasi or Badiashile fell flat — Palace are determined to move on. This is a seismic shift for both clubs.
