Liverpool have had a goalkeeping crisis since the departure of Pepe Reina in 2013 and a huge section of the fans want to see both Simon Mignolet and Loris Karius replaced as the club’s #1 this summer.

While several goalkeepers including Adam Bogdan have come, tried and failed in between the sticks, Peter Gulacsi is one former Liverpool player who never had the opportunity to play for Liverpool at the senior level.

The Hungarian went on loan to Hereford United, Tranmere Rovers and Hull City during his time in England before he was offloaded to Red Bull Salzburg in 2013, in the same summer that Reina was sold.

Gulacsi won the league and league cup in both his seasons at the Austrian club before he joined Salzburg’s sister club RB Leipzig in July 2015. He helped Leipzig gain promotion to the Bundesliga in his first season and then continued to be the club’s first choice keeper in the German top tier.

He played 33 Bundesliga games during Leipzig’s debut season in the Bundesliga, at the end of which, they were 2nd in the league!

He was also named as the best goalkeeper of the autumn part of the 2017/18 Bundesliga season by German sports magazine Kicker.
