Chelsea will continue to actively work on strengthening their central defense in the summer transfer window.

According to the BBC, the London club has accelerated negotiations with Crystal Peles in order to transfer central manager Maxence Lacroix.

According to Dzherel, the next round of re-arrangements between representatives of both clubs proceeded in a positive manner. The rulers of Chelsea and Cristal Peles take a central role in the negotiations. The 26-year-old Frenchman himself, a contract with insurance for another three years, was signed by the new website, although the “Eagles” were trying to promote their new favor.

It turns out that Crystal Peles is expected to sell at least 60 million pounds sterling. At the same time, the club is already looking for a potential replacement for Lacroix, and among the candidates is named the head of Augsburg Krieslein Matsima.

Lacroix moved to Crystal Palace from Wolfsburg in 2024, after which he played 98 matches for the London team.

Zahisnik also played for the French national team at the World Cup 2026, and his evidence from the Premier League has made the footballer one of the main transfer priorities of Chelsea.

If Lacroix's move also materialises, Trevo Chaloby's upcoming move to Stamford Bridge may be subject to food, and Como may also be of further interest.

Apparently, it was previously reported that Arsenal had also entered the battle for Maxence Lacroix due to William Salib’s injury.
