Péter Gulácsi (Hungarian pronunciation: [ˈpeːtɛr ˈɡulaːt͡ʃi]; born 6 May 1990) is a Hungarian footballer who plays for RB Leipzig as a goalkeeper.
Liverpool signed Gulácsi from MTK Budapest on a one-year loan in 2007, with the player competing in the treble winning reserve team. Liverpool had an option to buy him at the end of this loan deal, which they exercised on the last day of the transfer window, 1 September 2008. Gulácsi was the third person to sign for Liverpool from MTK, with previous signings András Simon (now with Paksi SE) and Krisztián Németh (now with Sporting Kansas City).
On 29 July and 5 August 2010, he was the substitute goalkeeper in both of Liverpool's UEFA Europa League ties against Rabotnički, with Liverpool winning 2–0 on both occasions. He also found himself on the bench on 26 August in Liverpool's Europa League tie against Trabzonspor. He has been a frequent presence on the subs bench in January 2011, with Brad Jones away at the AFC Cup. With Jones still away at the AFC Cup, Gulácsi was the substitute keeper for their 1–0 Premier League win over Chelsea at Stamford Bridge. Gulácsi retained his spot as back-up to Pepe Reina after Brad Jones returned from international duty, with the Aussie 'keeper going to Derby County on a loan transfer in March 2011.
