Lacroix on the verge of joining Chelsea, Disasi could be part of the deal

Crystal Palace center-back Maxence Lacroix is close to a move to Chelsea. According to The Telegraph, negotiations between the clubs have been ongoing and are nearing completion. In parallel, the sides are discussing a possible loan of Chelsea defender Axel Disasi to Crystal Palace for one season. However, the London club prefers a permanent sale of the 28-year-old Frenchman, who is also attracting interest from Milan and Roma. Crystal Palace’s need for a central defender arose after selling Marc Guehi to Manchester City in the winter, and now the club is preparing for Lacroix’s departure. That’s why the Disasi option is considered one of the most realistic. For Chelsea, the potential deal is also strategic: the club wants to offload several defenders to make room for a new addition to the backline.
