Man Utd, Leicester continue Page transfer talks

Manchester United remain in active discussions to sign Leicester City midfielder Louis Page, despite failing to complete a deal before the summer transfer window closed. The 18-year-old England youth international is the subject of ongoing negotiations between the two clubs, with United reportedly confident of securing his signature in the near future. The transfer saga intensified on deadline day, with United and Leicester unable to agree on a fee for the teenager. According to reports, United were prepared to offer £8 million plus add-ons, while Leicester demanded a package exceeding £10 million plus £2.5 million in add-ons. The impasse meant the window shut with Page still at Leicester, and his inclusion in the starting lineup for a League One match against Plymouth Argyle on September 1, 2026, confirmed he would remain at the King Power Stadium for the time being. Despite the deadline passing, lines of communication between the clubs remain open. Sources indicate that a deal was close to being finalized, with the primary sticking points being the payment structure and the composition of add-ons. Leicester's valuation is reportedly set above the total £12.
