Real Madrid are reportedly eyeing Crystal Palace centre-back Maxence Lacroix as a priority defensive signing this summer — and it’s a transfer that could send shockwaves through both the Premier League and La Liga. Why Lacroix Is on Real Madrid’s Radar Spanish outlet Fichajes claims Los Blancos have earmarked the 26-year-old French international as a top target, having already ruled out moves for Arsenal’s William Saliba and Liverpool’s Ibrahima Konaté. With Rüdiger and Alaba both in their 30s and struggling for consistency, Carlo Ancelotti’s side desperately need a long-term defensive solution — and Lacroix fits the bill perfectly. His 2025/26 Premier League numbers tell a compelling story: Tackles per game: 1.4 Interceptions per game: 1.0 Clearances per game: 3.7 Balls recovered per game: 4.3 Passing accuracy: 90% Duels won: 5.3 Crystal Palace Face Defensive Crisis Here’s where it gets tricky for Palace.

But Real Madrid’s [...] The post Real Madrid Target Maxence Lacroix in Bold Summer Defensive Raid appeared first on Football Extras.
