He arrived at Palace two years ago from Wolfsburg and won three trophies during a massively successful spell with the Eagles.
It is expected that Lacroix will soon be joined at Chelsea by Premier League veterans Danny Welbeck and Jordan Henderson.
The club are yet to confirm a squad number for the new arrival.
