The Chelsea has joined the race for Louis Page, an 18-year-old midfielder from Leicester City, after several top European clubs have intensified their monitoring. The English club asked for a package close to 18 million euros during the September market to allow his departure.

Competition for Page is wide. Scouts from Borussia Dortmund, Arsenal, Manchester City, Liverpool, Everton, Newcastle, and Sunderland have recently been monitoring the player, while Manchester United was close to completing his signing before the summer market deadline.

Chelsea joins a long list for Louis Page

Chelsea's interest comes as Page begins to get regular playing time in Leicester's first team. This season, he has played 5 matches in League One, with 3 assists, after featuring in 18 Championship games during the 2025/26 season.

The midfielder is under contract until June 30, 2029, giving Leicester room to maintain their stance in any negotiation. His market value is currently 4 million euros, although the amounts discussed by his club for his sale are significantly higher.

Page also received the EFL Championship Apprentice of the Season award last season. The recognition came after progressively integrating into the first team and making 21 official appearances between the Championship and cup competitions.

Chelsea's interest comes over a player who already has professional experience despite being 18 years old. His primary position is in midfield, but he can also play in more advanced areas.

Manchester United was close to signing him

Manchester United went furthest during the last market period. Negotiations with Leicester progressed in the final days of the window, and the deal came close, but economic differences ultimately halted the operation.

Leicester set their expectations at around 15 million pounds, approximately 18 million euros. The structure included a fixed amount and another part tied to variables, but the transfer did not close before the market deadline.

Leicester's stance was strengthened by the player's contract duration. Page renewed his terms in September 2025 and remains tied to the club until 2029, so the club does not have an immediate contractual need to agree to a sale.

Chelsea will face competition for the midfielder

The situation may reignite in the upcoming transfer windows. Arsenal, Manchester City, Liverpool, Everton, Newcastle, Sunderland, and Borussia Dortmund are part of the group of clubs that have sent scouts to analyze his progress.

Chelsea will now have to decide if they will turn their monitoring into a formal negotiation. The precedent set by Manchester United establishes a clear economic reference: Leicester has already set the stage for a potential departure of Louis Page around 18 million euros, while more teams are becoming interested in his situation.
