Péter Gulácsi (born 6 May 1990) is a Hungarian footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for Bundesliga club RB Leipzig and the Hungary national team.

Gulácsi began his career at Liverpool but did not make a senior appearance, spending loan spells at Hereford United, Tranmere Rovers, and Hull City.

He later moved to RB Leipzig in 2015, becoming a key figure in their rise to the Bundesliga and UEFA Champions League contention, and playing a pivotal role in securing the club's first-ever DFB-Pokal title.

Gulácsi retained his spot as back-up to Pepe Reina after Brad Jones returned from international duty, with the Aussie goalkeeper going to Derby County on a loan transfer in March 2011.

[14] He received a knee injury in a 1–0 defeat at Burnley on 31 December 2011 and was substituted for Adriano Basso on the 42nd minute mark, shortly after conceding a goal, scored by Martin Paterson, as a result of a defensive mix-up with Jack Hobbs.

[citation needed] On 1 July 2015, Gulácsi transferred to RB Leipzig, the sister club of Red Bull Salzburg, for a fee of 3 million pounds.

[25] According to leading German sports magazine Kicker, Gulácsi performed best in the Bundesliga's 2018–19 season matchday ratings with an average score of 2.61 and 16 clean sheets.

[31] On 5 October 2022, he tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee, in a 3–1 win against Celtic in the Champions League,[32][33] which forced him to miss the rest of the season.

[34] On 4 February 2024, he played his first Bundesliga match in a 2–0 victory over Union Berlin on game week 20 of the 2023–24 season, returning to the starting line-up after a lengthy absence.

[42] After Király's retirement from the national team in August 2016,[43] Gulácsi became Hungary's starting goalkeeper, playing in every match during the 2018 FIFA World Cup qualification campaign.

[46][better source needed] On 23 September 2022, Gulácsi made his 50th appearance for Hungary, keeping a clean sheet against Germany in a 1–0 UEFA Nations League fixture at Leipzig's Red Bull Arena.

[47] His cruciate ligament injury in October saw Dénes Dibusz replacing him in the goalkeeper section for the UEFA Euro 2024 qualifying campaign, with the Hungarians going unbeaten throughout 2023.
