AC Milan, West Ham want Leicester recruitment head Eduardo Macia - sources

Leicester City head of senior player recruitment Eduardo Macia is wanted by AC Milan and West Ham United, sources have confirmed to ESPN FC.

Macia, 44, has reportedly been offered a significant pay rise by both clubs and West Ham initially sounded the Spaniard out earlier this year for their director of football role before appointing Mario Husillos from Malaga in June.

However, they have maintained an interest in Macia and have offered him the chance to join the club to work alongside Husillos. It would be a similar set up to the one deployed by Arsenal, where head of football relations Raul Sanllehi dovetails with head of recruitment Sven Mislintat.
