Chelsea is actively pursuing a significant transfer window, with Xabi Alonso shaping his squad for the upcoming Premier League season. The west London club has identified Crystal Palace midfielder Adam Wharton as a high-priority summer target. There is optimism within Chelsea regarding a potential move for the 22-year-old, who is valued at approximately £70 million. In parallel, Chelsea is also progressing in negotiations for Crystal Palace defender Maxence Lacroix. The Blues understand the player's openness to a transfer and are reportedly prepared to offer around £50 million for him. Acquiring both Wharton and Lacroix would represent a substantial investment, potentially totaling £120 million. Crystal Palace may resist selling two key players unless their valuations are fully met, as it would necessitate a significant rebuilding effort.
