Gulácsi confirms desire to extend expiring Leipzig contract

Peter Gulácsi has made it clear that he’d like to extend his contract with RB Leipzig.

After reports emerged last week that RB Leipzig are considering extending Péter Gulácsi’s contract, which expires this summer, the 35-year-old goalkeeper has confirmed that he would like to sign a new deal.

“We’ll see what the future holds,” Gulácsi told Sky Germany following Leipzig’s 3-1 win over 1. FC Köln at the weekend. 

“I always play with my cards on the table. I’m very happy here in Leipzig with my family, and of course I would be delighted if it continues beyond this season.”

At 35, Gulácsi has so far maintained his status ahead of the 12-years-younger Maarten Vandevoordt, though questions remain about how long that can continue.

“We’ve always had a very open exchange with the sporting leadership, and I know exactly where I stand. We are in a process of rejuvenating the squad, and I’m no longer the youngest. I try to contribute with my experience and quality,” the veteran added.
