Villarreal CF is close to signing Hungarian goalkeeper Péter Gulácsi, who has 36 years of experience in the Bundesliga. The veteran's arrival would help provide competition for Luiz Júnior in the Villarreal CF goal.
Why is this signing important for Villarreal CF?
Villarreal CF needs a goalkeeper who can compete with Luiz Júnior in the yellow goal. With Diego Conde's departure to Real Betis and Arnau Tenas' exit, the yellow team needs a goalkeeper who can perform in all competitions.
What's next?
If Villarreal CF signs Péter Gulácsi, the decision of who will be the starting goalkeeper will depend on the new coach, Iñigo Pérez. The Hungarian goalkeeper has 36 years of experience in the Bundesliga and has shown that he can still perform at the top level.
The need for a veteran goalkeeper
Villarreal CF has loaned out Diego Conde to Real Betis and is close to releasing Arnau Tenas, who has strong interest from RCD Mallorca. In this context, Villarreal CF is left with Luiz Júnior, who is expected to be the starting goalkeeper despite some doubts about his performance last season.
Péter Gulácsi, a goalkeeper with experience
Péter Gulácsi has 36 years of experience in the Bundesliga and has shown that he can still perform at the top level. Last season, he played 23 games and 2.009 minutes in the Bundesliga with RB Leipzig. His signing with Villarreal CF would help provide competition for Luiz Júnior in the yellow goal.
