# Fabrizio Romano Quashes Everton Links to Max Aarons

Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has quashed rumours linking [Everton](https://readeverton.com/2021/05/27/kevin-campbell-endorses-everton-ings-move-demands-tactical-tweak/) to one-time top target Max Aarons of Norwich City.

According to previous reports in [The Times](https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/everton-weigh-up-deal-for-max-aarons-but-norwich-city-want-30m-3jwxgbq02), the Canaries were prepared to cash in on their 21-year-old starlet following their promotion back to the Premier League but were sticking rigidly to their [£30 million price tag.](https://www.footballfancast.com/everton-transfer-rumours/aarons-keen-30m-norwich-transfer-ancelotti-brands-godfrey-premier-league-gossip)

That figure was deemed to be too hefty for the preferences of Everton transfer chiefs, cooling links with the right-back.

[Previous links](https://www.teamtalk.com/news/exclusive-everton-prepare-bid-for-max-aarons-norwich-city) have indicated that Carlo Ancelotti’s side will look to prioritise a right-back in the transfer market this summer as Everton look to improve on their 10th-place finish in the upcoming campaign.

That led Everton to identify Aarons as the ideal long-term successor to club servant Seamus Coleman, but transfer guru Romano has confirmed the cooling of Everton’s interest in the Norwich man.

### Read Everton Verdict

Everton fans will need to trust that they could find better value for money in other markets.

Nothing should be taken away from Aarons’ ability himself; he has proven Premier League experience playing alongside current Toffee Ben Godfrey and looked to be [Barcelona-bound last summer.](https://www.pinkun.com/sport/norwich-city/max-aarons-on-transfer-links-to-barcelona-6521398)

Although the Catalan club eventually settled on then-Ajax right-back Sergino Dest, Aarons was a serious option under consideration at the Nou Camp.

In the Premier League, Aarons helped to keep [5 clean sheets](https://www.premierleague.com/players/19970/Max-Aarons/stats) and managed 37 passes per match on average, making not a single error that led to a goal.

With 36 appearances in his lone Premier League campaign, he remained a fit and reliable option for the Canaries.

Amid [other links](https://www.teamtalk.com/news/everton-transfer-latest-zeki-celik-contact-roma-interest) to Zeki Celik of Ligue 1 champions Lille however, Everton will be keeping their options open this summer and should move on from Aarons.
