Newcastle United are lining up a move for RB Leipzig goalkeeper Peter Gulacsi, as Rafa Benitez steps up his efforts to secure the services of a world-class goalkeeper, sources in Germany have told ESPN FC.
Having missed out on Joe Hart and Pepe Reina, Benítez has now made Hungary international Gulacsi a top target.
Benitez is a long term admirer of Gulacsi having signed him for Liverpool when he was 17.
After leaving Liverpool in 2013, the athletic shot-stopper excelled at Red Bull Salzburg winning the Austrian title and Cup twice in his two seasons there, before making the move to Leipzig in 2015.
