Exclusive: Fabrizio Romano reveals manager’s priority amid AC Milan & West Ham links

Transfer news expert Fabrizio Romano has provided an update on the situation surrounding former Real Madrid and Wolves manager Julen Lopetegui as he’s linked with jobs at AC Milan and West Ham.

The Italian journalist also added that West Ham still have a number of candidates in mind for the job of replacing David Moyes, with nothing decided just yet.

Lopetegui could surely have been an exciting choice for West Ham, with the experienced Spanish tactician showing plenty of promise during his time in charge of Wolves in the Premier League, while he’s also shone in other big jobs.

Still, it perhaps makes sense that a prestigious name like Milan is now his preference.

“Lopetegui is giving his priority to AC Milan, so let’s see how talks will continue between them. West Ham are taking their time to prepare candidates shortlist and then we will see.

“Paulo Fonseca is another name who’s been linked with the Hammers, but he’s also on the list at Marseille, so we’ll have to wait and see what happens, with nothing close or advanced at the moment.”
