Max Aarons to Barcelona agreement reached
Norwich City were relegated from the Premier League last term. Since then, Max Aarons has been linked with a move away from the club, with talks of Barcelona swooping in to rope in the defender. According to a report by Sport, Max Aarons to Barcelona agreement will last for five years. The deal will materialise once the Semedo to Wolves talks materialise.

Barcelona were on the lookout for another defender - Sergino Dest but ultimately lost out the race to European champions Bayern Munich. The report claims that Ronald Koeman's side had offered a short-term deal, which was rejected. However, an improved loan offer will be enough to convince Norwich City to agree to terms.
