So far in the current campaign, the Englishman has made 15 senior appearances, scoring one and assisting five goals. Page has a contract with Leicester until the summer of 2029, but the English club are open to a sale in January provided two conditions are met. Firstly, they want the youngster to remain at the club on loan for the remainder of the season, and secondly they are seeking a total fee of £15 million (€18 million) for their prized asset. Plenty of competition for Page As mentioned earlier, there is no shortage of interest in Page, with Manchester United understood to be the club pushing the hardest for his signing. Manchester United are confident of signing Page.

Outside of England, there has been interest from Borussia Dortmund, while Real Madrid’s arch-rivals, Barcelona have also watched him in action. For now, though, it is said that Manchester United remain confident of signing Page, who has six caps for the England U19 national team. Whether Real Madrid make a move for the teenager remains to be seen.
