Goalkeeper Peter Gulácsi to Join Spanish side Villarreal

Hungarian international Peter Gulácsi is close to completing a move from RB Leipzig to La Liga club Villarreal. The clubs have reached an agreement on a 2+1‑year contract, giving the 24‑year‑old a two‑season deal with an option for a third year.

Leipzig are already planning a replacement, with Norwegian keeper Ørjan Nyland mentioned as a possible successor. The transfer was first reported by Fabrizio Romano and later confirmed by German outlet Bild, with agent Hasan Cetinkaya handling the negotiations. Gulácsi's move would see him return to the Champions League, while Villarreal aim to strengthen their goal‑keeping options alongside 25‑year‑old Luiz Júnior.
