Borussia Dortmund reportedly had a last minute loan bid for Max Aarons rejected by Norwich
Borussia Dortmund reportedly made a last minute bid to sign Max Aarons on loan with an option to buy. But the offer was rejected by Norwich City.
Borussia Dortmund’s search for a new right-back was well documented in the final few weeks of the summer transfer window. The Black and Yellows were linked with moves for a number of players, including Manchester United’s Diogo Dalot and Inter Milan’s Valentino Lazaro. And they also made an attempt to sign Norwich City’s Max Aarons, a report claims.
According to the Telegraph, Borussia Dortmund made a bid to sign Max Aarons on a season long loan deal with an option to buy the day before the transfer deadline. But the offer for the highly rated right-back was instantly rejected by Norwich City.
Borussia Dortmund were linked with a move for Aarons last summer as well. But they ended up signing Thomas Meunier on a free transfer from Paris St. Germain.
Aarons, who came through the Norwich City academy, has attracted the interest of a number of big clubs in recent years. The 21 year old has made a total of 133 appearances for Norwich City, and helped them achieve promotion to the English Premier League last season.
