Overview
- Reports on Tuesday say Manchester United have pushed forward in talks with Leicester and are close to agreeing a deal for midfielder Louis Page after rapid negotiations.
- Multiple outlets report the fee is expected to be in excess of £10 million which is a key sticking point in finalising the transfer.
- Club sources say United remain cautious about completing the move before the 11pm deadline and are treating the negotiations as a race against time.
- Page is an 18‑year‑old academy graduate who made his first‑team debut in August 2025 and has roughly 25 senior appearances, making him a youthful squad option rather than an immediate first‑team starter.
- The transfer would fit United’s summer midfield rebuild and has attracted interest from Arsenal, with Leicester said to prefer no rush and a possible loan‑back structure discussed to protect the player’s development.
