Transfer: Crystal Palace Line up Nwaiwu to Replace Chelsea-Bound Lacroix
Palace have already identified a replacement after Chelsea accepted a £52 million offer for Maxence Lacroix, with a second bid for Chrislain Matsima expected.
- Crystal Palace agreed to sell defender Maxence Lacroix to Chelsea for £52 million, with the 26-year-old undergoing a medical today ahead of joining Xabi Alonso's team.
- Palace are actively seeking a centre-back replacement as Lacroix nears his exit, having been in the market for a new defender following negotiations that spanned the past few weeks.
- The Eagles have identified Augsburg defender Chrislain Matsima as their priority replacement, but they have already had a "formal bid" of £20 million rejected by the club for the 24-year-old centre-back.
- Standard Sport reported on Thursday that Palace were in talks to sign Chelsea defender Axel Disasi, though it remains unclear if the pursuit of the 28-year-old impacts the Matsima deal.
- Additionally, Palace is considering Trabzonspor's Chibuike Nwaiwu for the defensive role, though Fulham is pushing hard to sign the Nigeria international, who joined the Black Sea Storm from Austrian club Wolfsberger in January.
