Péter Gulácsi, the 36-year-old Hungarian goalkeeper with 269 Bundesliga appearances, is close to leaving RB Leipzig after 11 years. Spanish club FC Villarreal is pursuing him seriously, with contract terms reportedly already agreed: a two-year deal with an option for a third season. Gulácsi had accepted a reduced role as backup to Marten Vandevoordt at Leipzig but is now eager for the move, as Villarreal offers him a chance to compete for the starting spot and play in the Champions League. Villarreal's new young coach Iñigo Pérez values his experience. Meanwhile, RB Leipzig is reportedly in talks with former goalkeeper Ørjan Nyland (35) as a potential replacement.
