Chelsea Signs Maxence Lacroix for £51 Million Deal
Chelsea Football Club has completed the signing of defender Maxence Lacroix from Crystal Palace for a fee of £51 million. Lacroix has signed a six-year contract with the club, marking Chelsea's first signing of a player aged 26 or over since the summer of 2022.
This acquisition brings Chelsea's total spending this summer to beyond £250 million. The club, under the leadership of chairman Todd Boehly, is focusing on adding physically imposing players with Premier League experience, and Lacroix fits this profile.
In conjunction with this signing, Chelsea is expected to move on several defenders, including Trevoh Chalobah, Benoit Badiashile, and Axel Disasi, as they reshape their squad for the upcoming season.
