Barcelona and Norwich hold talks over Max Aarons transfer
Barcelona are in talks with Norwich over the possible transfer of Max Aarons. The Championship club last weekend rejected an offer from Barcelona to take the England Under-21 full-back on loan and, although it is understood a further bid is yet to be forthcoming, negotiations are ongoing.

Norwich are believed to be willing to accept an offer of a loan with an obligation to buy, with the fee in the region of £20m.
Barcelona are about to sell the Portuguese right-back Nélson Semedo to Wolves and are in the market for a replacement. One candidate, Ajax’s Sergiño Dest, is also the subject of interest from Bayern Munich, who are in a stronger financial position to complete the deal.
Aarons made his Norwich debut less than two years ago having joined the academy from Luton. The 20-year-old made 36 Premier League appearances last season.
