Gulacsi joins Villarreal after 11 years with Leipzig
Villarreal announced the signing of Peter Gulacsi, who has left RB Leipzig after 11 years at the club.
Gulacsi has signed a two-year deal with Villarreal in a reported €2m deal with Leipzig.
The 36 year-old joined Leipzig in 2015 from RB Salzburg and played 362 matches for the German club.
He helped Leipzig achieve promotion to the Bundesliga in his debut season before eventually making 269 appearances in the German top-flight.
"After eleven years, this farewell is really not easy for me," said Gulacsi in an emotional farewell video posted on social media.
"RB Leipzig was never just a club for me. Leipzig has become our second home, and the people here will always have a special place in my heart and ours."
Gulacsi is now set to battle Luiz Junior for the number one role at Villarreal, who finished third in LaLiga last season.
Inigo Perez's side begins its 2026-2027 league campaign with three consecutive away games against Racing Santander, Atletico Madrid and Alaves.
