Liverpool Set Sights on Other Crystal Palace Star to Replace PSG Target

Maxence Lacroix has reportedly emerged as a serious name under consideration at Liverpool as the club prepares for the possible departure of Konaté. With Marc Guehi’s future still unclear, the Reds view the French defender as an intriguing mix of proven ability and untapped potential.

According to TMW, Liverpool’s scouting department rates Lacroix highly, with some within the club even describing him as a “Rolls Royce” type of defender.

Since joining Crystal Palace from Wolfsburg, he has settled quickly and made a strong impact. Palace have conceded just three goals in league play this season and remain unbeaten at home — a record that owes much to Lacroix’s composure and leadership at the back.

His statistical profile also stands out, particularly in ground duels and anticipation — traits that appeal to Liverpool as they assess long-term defensive options. In addition, his lower-profile nature compared with Guehi could make negotiations smoother.
