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.
