According to Plettenberg, a well-known reporter for the authoritative German sports media Sky Sports, English Premier League team Crystal Palace is going all out to try to sign Wolfsburg's backbone Lacroix at the last minute before the transfer market closes. This news undoubtedly adds another piece of suspense and anticipation to the upcoming end of the transfer season.
Plettenberg clearly pointed out in his report that Crystal Palace's interest in Lacroix is very strong, and the negotiation between the two clubs is still in an intense and active state. This shows the determination and urgent need of Crystal Palace's senior management to strengthen the team's defense line, and Lacroix has become their first choice of target in this transfer window.
What is particularly noteworthy is that Lacroix himself is open to joining Crystal Palace, and both sides have agreed on personal terms. This development undoubtedly lays a solid foundation for the completion of the transfer deal. It is reported that Lacroix's contract with Wolfsburg will expire in the summer of 2025, and he does not intend to renew his contract with the club, which further accelerates the pace of his departure.
As a 24-year-old French-born center back, Lacroix has shown excellent defensive ability and stable game form in the Bundesliga. His Bundesliga price tag of 20 million euros fully proves his value and potential in the transfer market. For Crystal Palace, if they can successfully introduce Lacroix, it will undoubtedly greatly enhance the team's overall defensive strength, injecting new vitality and hope for the next season.
