Barcelona agree five-year deal to sign Tottenham defensive target LaLiga giants Barcelona have reportedly agreed a five-year deal to sign highly-rated Norwich right-back Max Aarons. Ronald Koeman is in the process of revamping his squad, with Arturo Vidal joining Inter Milan and Luis Suarez seemingly bound for Atletico Madrid. Barca had been chasing Ajax star Sergino Dest but with the USA international set to join Bayern Munich, Koeman has switched his focus to Aarons. Indeed, Barca are already clearing the way for a new right-back, with Nelson Semedo on his way to Wolves. Aarons has been a long-term target for Tottenham. But their signing of Matt Doherty appears to opened the door for Barca to strike a deal. The report from Sport claims that Norwich had already turned down a loan deal for the 20-year-old with an option to buy. But now a five-year contract has been agreed, with a fee of £20m, plus £10m in add-ons mooted. Aarons only played one season of top-flight football with the Canaries before they were relegated. However, he emerged as one of their standout stars in a difficult campaign. The report adds that although Koeman was desperate to bring in Dest, he is more than happy with Aarons. MAN CITY GIVE BARCA GREEN LIGHT TO SIGN DEFENDER Eric Garcia could still leave Manchester City before the transfer deadline after Barcelona came to an agreement, according to reports.
