That’s according to a report from Spanish outlet AS, who say that the 21-year-old is also attracting attention from elsewhere in Europe.
MacNulty was born in Spain, and came through the youth ranks at Real Betis, although he never made a senior appearance for the club.
He moved to Germany to join Wolfsburg in 2019, but again, he was unable to make a senior appearance for the Bundesliga side’s first team.
However, the centre-back spent last season on loan in the Dutch second-tier, where he became a regular feature for NAC Breda.
Following that stint, MacNulty returned to the Netherlands on a permanent basis last summer, signing for PEC Zwolle on a free transfer.
Since then, the defender has made 29 appearances in all competitions for the club, helping them to 11th place in the current Dutch top-flight standings.
A move to either side would arguably be a step up for MacNulty, especially if they are both in the top-flight.
He could though, still provide welcome depth, and at 21-years-old, has the time to develop into a big asset for one of these clubs if they sign him.
So with that in mind, this could be one that is indeed worth pursuing for Leeds and Leicester once the market opens.
