Per The Mirror, advanced talks are taking place over a deal that would be worth up to £17.7 million.
Palace had thought they might be priced out of the move, but have succeeded with a second offer.
Lacroix will head to England to complete his medical and sign his contract in the coming days.
Meanwhile, Newcastle continue to push for Marc Guehi, with Palace resigned to losing the defender.
