Péter Gulácsi: RB Leipzig Contract Extension
RB wants to retain the Hungarian. Leipzig wants to extend Gulácsi's contract if he agrees to salary reductions and a changed role. Recently, there have been constructive talks.
Péter Gulácsi's contract with RB Leipzig expires in the summer. Gulácsi and manager Marcel Schäfer have had at least two discussions about his future. Schäfer indicated that he would like to make Maarten Vandevoordt the new number one goalkeeper in the summer, which would require Gulácsi to accept a role as a number two or challenger for a new contract. Schäfer stated that the club wants to rejuvenate the squad and reduce salary costs. According to BILD, Gulácsi currently earns up to 5.5 million euros per year, but a new contract would be for no more than 3 million euros, with his salary likely to be halved. Gulácsi and his advisors are also in talks with other clubs. A winter move, which was not previously excluded, is now no longer being considered.
Marcel Schäfer explained that they are having positive discussions with Péter Gulácsi. The goalkeeper would like to stay.
According to Kicker, Peter Gulacsi has indicated he would be willing to accept Maarten Vandevoordt's promotion and extend his contract as the number two goalkeeper at RB Leipzig.

According to Bild, Gulácsi would also be reconciled with not being the club's first-choice goalkeeper in the future. Sporting director Marcel Schäfer will consult with Gulácsi about his future during the club's training camp in Portugal between January 2 and 7.
Péter Gulácsi stated that he would like to extend his contract with RB Leipzig, but only if he continues to feel that he is a valuable member of the team. He also said that he and the club have not yet discussed the future.
