Official | RB Leipzig announce triple contract extension | OneFootball

RB Leipzig have announced the contract extension of their three first team goalkeepers: Péter Gulácsi, Maarten Vandevoordt and Leopold Zingerle.

Gulácsi has signed a one-year extension on his deal that was due to expire in the summer, while Vandevoordt has extended his by a further year, penning a deal until 2030, while Zingerle extended his contract until 2028.

It means that Gulácsi, who has made 360 competitive appearances, will spend a 12th year at the Saxony club having joined from RB Salzburg in 2015. The 35-year-old won the DFB Pokal with Die Roten Bullen in 2022 and 2023.

“We’re delighted to have extended the contracts of all three of our goalkeepers. With Pete, Maarten and Leo, we’ve got enormous quality in this position and arguably one of the strongest trios in the Bundesliga,” said Marcel Schäfer, Leipzig’s managing director for sport.

“You can always rely on Pete. In his 11th season with us, he’s once again shown himself to be a safe pair of hands, has demonstrated his class at domestic and international level for years, and can offer the team a huge amount with his experience.

“We signed Maarten a few years ago with the clear view that the future belongs to him. He has outstanding attributes and has already proven his quality at a young age in almost 200 professional matches. In his appearances for RB Leipzig so far, he’s also shown what he can do and demonstrated that his style of play is a perfect fit for the football we want to play.

“Leo complements the other two with consistently strong performances in training and also plays an important role in the dressing room. We’re very happy to be going into next season with all three of them. We have full faith in this set-up, both on and off the pitch.”
