Tottenham Hotspur had intensive interest in Péter Gulácsi during the winter transfer period and made a concrete offer for a two-year contract with an option for a third year. The deal was advantageous as Gulácsi would qualify as a 'Homegrown Player', and after learning of the offer, RB Leipzig's sports director negotiated an improved contract proposal. Gulácsi's decision to extend his stay at Leipzig was reportedly influenced by his heart and a family veto, with his new contract now running until June 2027.
