Crystal Palace Snaps Up Bundesliga Star for €21 Million

Wolfsburg, in a last-minute clear-out, has seen their top defender Maxence Lacroix join Crystal Palace for a reported €21 million. Lacroix, a 24-year-old French defender, had established himself as a key player for Wolfsburg, even being named vice-captain during the pre-season. The move sees him reunite with former Wolfsburg coach Oliver Glasner, who now manages Crystal Palace. The transfer, described as a ‘dream come true’ for Lacroix, marks a significant loss for Wolfsburg, who are left to rebuild their defense after losing their captain and fan-favorite.
