Borussia Dortmund linked with Crystal Palace’s Maxence Lacroix | OneFootball

L’Équipe reports that Borussia Dortmund are interested in bringing Maxence Lacroix back to the Bundesliga. The longtime Wolfsburg professional moved to the Isle last year, re-joining his former head coach Oliver Glasner at Crystal Palace. Despite the fact that Lacroix has thrived in south London, the French journal reports that the Eagles have received plenty of inquires from England and abroad.

Tottenham and several Italian sides are also reported to be interested in the 25-year-old. Palace may consider quickly flipping a player they paid €18m to acquire last summer. Lacroix currently maintains an estimated €25m market value. Whether or not Lacroix wishes to depart a club at which he enjoys status remains questionable.

Lacroix made 44 appearances across all competitions under Glasner last year. Dortmund – given their current situation in central defense – could offer Lacroix prospects for playing time along with the chance to play Champions League football.

Lacroix made six Champions League appearances for Wolfsburg during the 2021/22 campaign (after Glasner departed for Eintracht Frankfurt). The Frenchman not gotten the chance to return to Europe’s elite level since.
