Overview
- Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano reported Friday that Peter Gulacsi and Villarreal have nearly agreed personal terms for a move to Spain.
- Other outlets and dpa say there has been no formal approach from Villarreal to RB Leipzig and no confirmed club-to-club negotiations so far.
- Gulacsi is under contract with Leipzig until summer 2027 after a February extension, but he is expected to yield the starting spot to Maarten Vandevoordt if he leaves.
- A departure would require Leipzig to recruit an experienced goalkeeper willing to be a backup and affordable, and media reports name Stefan Ortega as one possible target.
- Gulacsi has been Leipzig’s long-serving keeper since 2015 with 362 appearances, and Tottenham reportedly made a concrete winter offer that almost moved him before his contract renewal.
