BVB join race for Leicester talent Louis Page | OneFootball

A major parade of scouts accompanied Leicester City’s latest outing against Stockport County. Talent spotters from all over Europe took notes on midfield gem Louis Page during the third-tier match. The 18-year-old Leicester player has an almost magnetic pull on Europe’s elite. Right in the middle of it: scouts from Borussia Dortmund.

However, the central midfielder was not only on BVB’s radar, as TEAMtalk reports. Manchester United also sent observers and still sees itself in pole position in the transfer race after a deal was already close to being completed last summer.

The fact that the German runners-up have now also taken notice of the talent underlines that Page’s reputation has long since crossed national borders. Alongside Dortmund and the Red Devils, representatives from Manchester City, Liverpool, Everton, Newcastle and Sunderland were also in the stands. Arsenal, Chelsea and Tottenham had already registered their interest beforehand.

Despite the large number of rivals, it is considered likely that the Black and Yellows will continue to closely monitor the youngster’s development. The England U19 international (three appearances) is still under contract with the “Foxes” until June 2029. His market value is currently estimated at four million euros.

Leicester play hardball with Manchester United

That Leicester negotiate tough was evident in August 2026. An offer from Manchester United worth around twelve million euros was rejected. The former Premier League club is reportedly only willing to enter talks if an offer of 18 million euros is made.

The trip to Leicester’s away match in Stockport was definitely worth it. The spectators not only saw a spectacular 4-3 win for the 2016 surprise champions, but also an impressive performance from Page. The Foxes midfielder emerged as the match-winner at Edgeley Park. With an outstanding display, the youngster contributed two assists to the victory.

Page fits BVB’s profile perfectly. Dortmund’s status as the ideal place for top talents from England is shown by the development of the Bellingham brothers Jude (23) and Jobe (20), as well as Jadon Sancho (26) and Jamie Gittens (22).
