Overview
- Crypto Briefing reports that Villarreal is completing the signing of 36-year-old Hungarian goalkeeper Péter Gulácsi from RB Leipzig for a reported €2 million, though the move awaits official club confirmation.
- Gulácsi has spent 11 years at Leipzig and made more than 360 appearances for the club, making him one of the Bundesliga side’s longest‑serving players.
- The deal is reported to be conditional on Leipzig finding a suitable replacement goalkeeper before allowing Gulácsi to leave.
- Leipzig’s willingness to accept a modest fee reflects a strategic choice to avoid losing Gulácsi for free as his contract winds down and to accelerate a transition to a younger option.
- If confirmed, the €2 million figure would serve as a market reference for transfers of experienced goalkeepers in their mid‑to‑late thirties and could influence how clubs value similar veterans going forward.
