Hungarian goalkeeper Peter Gulacsi was absent from RB Leipzig's squad for the friendly match against Verl today, signaling a potential departure from the German club and a move to Spanish side Villarreal.
According to Sky Sport, Gulacsi is very close to completing his transfer to Villarreal, which is why Leipzig did not want to risk playing him in the friendly match, as negotiations are progressing towards finalizing the deal.
Recent reports have confirmed that Peter Gulacsi's transfer to Villarreal is nearing completion, with negotiations between the involved parties progressing.
In related news, Ivory Coast's Yan Diomande also missed Leipzig's squad for the match in which the team won 4-0, as the player informed the club on Saturday morning that he was suffering from illness.
Diomande's status for traveling with the team to Austria for the training camp is still uncertain, pending clarity on his condition in the coming hours.
These developments come at a time when speculation also surrounds Deumandi's future, amid reports of advanced negotiations regarding his transfer to Real Madrid.
