Bild reports on the potential transfer of Peter Gulacsi after he was informed he can seek a new club. Peter Gulacsi, considered one of the best goalkeepers in the league, has been informed that he can seek a new club. Despite being selected for the Bundesliga Team of the Season, the club wants to move him due to his high salary of around 6 million euros per year. Talks with him or his agent have not yet commenced but are expected to start this week.
