Report: Dortmund join Manchester United for highly-rated Leicester youngster

Borussia Dortmund are reportedly keeping a close eye on highly-rated Leicester City midfielder Louis Page.

According to TEAMtalk, Dortmund sent scouts to watch the 18-year-old during Leicester's 4-3 League One victory away at Stockport County on Saturday.

Page impressed as the Foxes claimed their first away league victory of the season, playing an important role in an entertaining seven-goal encounter at Edgeley Park.

The midfielder has emerged as one of Leicester's most exciting academy products after joining the club at Under-9 level and progressing through their youth system.

Page made his senior debut in the Carabao Cup against Huddersfield Town in August 2025 and went on to make 20 further appearances across the Championship and FA Cup last season.

He has continued to establish himself around the first team this term and has already recorded three assists from his opening five appearances.

Dortmund are not believed to be the only ones interested.

Manchester United have been heavily linked with the England youth international and held talks over a move during the summer transfer window, although an agreement with Leicester could not be reached.

TEAMtalk now reports that BVB have entered the race for Page, with the Bundesliga club's scouts in attendance to assess him against Stockport.

Dortmund have developed a reputation for recruiting young players from England in recent years, with Jude Bellingham among the most successful examples after arriving from Birmingham City in 2020.

The club also signed Bellingham's younger brother Jobe during the summer, while Arsenal youngster Ethan Nwaneri joined BVB on loan.
