Norwich City have reportedly slapped a £35m price tag on the head of Max Aarons amid interest from Bayern Munich.
The 21-year-old remained with the Canaries over the summer transfer window despite their relegation from the Premier League and boasts one goal and three assists in 29 Championship appearances this term.
However, it remains to be seen whether Aarons will seek pastures new even if Norwich are immediately promoted back to the big time, and a recent report stated that Bayern are stepping up their interest in the right-back.
Now, Sky Sports News claims that the Champions League winners are now in talks with the Canaries over a deal for the defender, but they would have to fork out £30m to £35m to secure his signature.
The report also adds that Norwich would prefer to negotiate in the summer rather than during a busy Championship campaign, and Manchester United are also keeping a close eye on developments.
Aarons has just under three-and-a-half years left to run on his current deal with Daniel Farke's side.
