Barcelona have had two bids rejected by Norwich for Max Aarons, according to reports.

The Athletic reporter David Ornstein says the Championship club rejected Barcelona's offers for 20-year-old right-back. He reports the Barca’s first bid was a loan with an option to buy, but no financial penalties based on appearances.

The second was a loan with an option to buy but including those financial penalties if Aarons wasn't to get game time. Ornstein adds Aarons' representatives has already agreed personal terms with five-time European champions Bayern Munich.

AARONS TO BAYERN - WHY NOT?

Bayern are in need for a right back like Aarons. Still the number one target is Sergino Dest from Ajax, but if that doesn't work out - why not?

Aarons would be a pretty good fit, as he is faster and more offensive-thinking than Pavard. In the future, Pavard should play centre back, so the position on the right would be free. It could be a good fit, but Bayern first will go all in for Dest.
