According to sources for TEAMtalk, Bayern Munich are currently the side most actively pursuing a deal for Maxence Lacroix. Bayern Munich have a strong interest and are considered the club which has done the most work at this stage. The Bavarians regard the fast, ball-playing Frenchman as the ideal profile to strengthen their defence. Vincent Kompany greatly admires Maxence Lacroix and had listed him as a potential summer target even before his recent elevation with Les Bleus. Crystal Palace would seek a minimum of £60million (€69m, $79m). Lacroix’s current contract runs until 2029 and contains no release clause.

Bayern Munich are tracking the progress of Crystal Palace's 25-year-old French centre-back, Maxence Lacroix. Liverpool, Chelsea, and Aston Villa are also monitoring the player. Interest in Lacroix has increased following his recent international debut for France, for whom he has one cap, but Crystal Palace are in a strong negotiating position as his contract, which runs until 2029, does not include a release clause. This season, he has made 28 appearances in the Premier League, scoring one goal and providing two assists. Lacroix joined Palace from VfL Wolfsburg in August 2024 for a fee reported to be €18.0M, and his current market value is €40.00m, according to Transfermarkt.
