In light of this situation, Real Madrid have begun to explore a new option on the transfer market: French defender Maxence Lacroix of Crystal Palace.
Lacroix is known for his physical strength, speed, and ability to read the game and react quickly, and Real Madrid believe he is capable of adapting quickly to the club’s standards.
Furthermore, a deal for Lacroix would be more financially viable than one for Konaté, making it an attractive option from both a financial and sporting perspective.
Real Madrid are looking to sign a defender who offers the required solidity whilst also possessing the potential to develop and improve, qualities which La Croix possesses.
