Nottingham Forest want to add RB Leipzig custodian Peter Gulacsi to their squad before the transfer deadline.
That is according to Fabrizio Romano.
So, what has been said about Forest’s interest in Gulacsi?
Nottingham Forest wants Peter Gulacsi.
Nuno Espirito Santo appears to be interested in signing a custodian, making this an intriguing prospect.
It was reported that Forest would not sign another stopper during the January transfer window.
However, according to Fabrizio Romano, Forest are now considering signing Gulacsi.
The 33-year-old goalkeeper has only appeared in three games across all competitions this season and will have just one year left on his contract in the summer.
With 51 caps for Hungary, he’s a well-known custodian, and it appears Forest is eager to make this move.
Romano also claims that Forest are currently looking for a new custodian, despite speculation that this would not happen this month.
Who is Peter Gulacsi?
The commanding custodian joined Liverpool in 2008 from MTK in Hungary, but he struggled for playing time at Anfield.
He went on loan to Hereford, Tranmere, and Hull, but made no appearances for Liverpool.
After joining Salzburg, he began to prove his worth, making 100 appearances and attracting the attention of RB Leipzig.
Forest-linked Prior to the 2023/24 campaign, Gulacsi had held the top spot for several years.
He’s appeared 287 times in total, but Forest are now hoping to persuade Gulacsi to move to the Premier League this month.
A quick look at some stats from Squawka shows that Gulacsi makes more saves than Matt Turner, which bodes well for the Hungarian if he signs with the club.
Rumour rating: 7/10. Given his lack of Premier League experience, he may struggle to advance any further.
Although playing in the Champions League isn’t always the best way to evaluate a player, Gulacsi has experience in that regard.
Who Scored demonstrates that his primary strengths are shot stopping and concentration.
The goalkeeping situation at Forest is a mess, and hopefully a solution can be found before the window closes.
