Chelsea are interested in Crystal Palace defender Maxence Lacroix. Palace would prefer to keep their squad together, but their strategy has typically been to develop players and sell for a profit, which can then be reinvested. Palace are not under significant pressure to sell as the 26-year-old has three years on his contract. They would consider striking a deal at the right price, but would need to have a replacement identified before allowing Lacroix to leave.
