Manchester United are working frantically to complete a deal for Leicester City midfielder Louis Page before Tuesday’s transfer window deadline. The 18-year-old has emerged as a priority target for the Red Devils, who face competition from Premier League champions Arsenal for his signature.
United’s summer transfer activity has already seen significant investment in midfield reinforcements. Manager Michael Carrick has brought in Andrey Santos, Youri Tielemans and Carlos Baleba for a combined fee exceeding £150 million. Page would represent a future-focused addition to this revamped squad.
The teenager’s situation at Leicester is complicated. Despite being contracted with the Foxes until 2029, he’s scheduled to feature in their League One match against Plymouth on Tuesday night. Sky Sports reports United will need to offer more than £8 million to meet Leicester’s valuation, with discussions ongoing about the final fee structure.
Page earned recognition as the EFL Apprentice of the Year last season and has made 25 appearances for Leicester across all competitions. His solitary assist came during the Championship campaign that saw the former Premier League champions suffer a historic double relegation. Whether United can finalize the deal before tonight’s deadline remains uncertain, though reports suggest negotiations are progressing swiftly.
