Liverpool goalkeeper Peter Gulacsi is set to go out on loan next season, according to his management agency.

The 21-year-old firmly established himself as second choice to Pepe Reina at Anfield following the appointment of Kenny Dalglish.

However, the Hungarian, who has had successful loan spells at Hereford and Tranmere, has yet to make his first team bow.

He will be watched at the upcoming Toulon tournament by a host of teams looking to give him more valuable experience.

Agency owner Tibor Pataky said: "We're not surprised because Peter has been considered as one of the best of his age in international football.

"We can't say which clubs are interested but we can say that seven teams indicated that they will travel to France in order to watch him live. These clubs are from England, Germany, Holland and Belgium. The most likely possibility is that Peter will spend the season at another club.

"Of course the final decision will be made by Liverpool. But we're not worried about this as his career has been managed very gently. They see his values and also his high potential."

Liverpool's back-up goalkeeper Peter Gulacsi has revealed the club are in the market for an experienced shot-stopper this summer.

The Hungarian youngster, who has spent spells with Hereford in Tranmere in the past two seasons, is planning to leave Anfield for another loan stint this term.

But the 21-year-old has revealed that the Anfield outfit are likely to bring in a new face to provide additional cover for established No.1 Pepe Reina, with Brad Jones also on their books.

Gulacsi told Nemzeti Sport: "I had already been thinking about my possible departure in March although that time it wasn't a topic that Brad Friedel or Doni may sign for Liverpool.

"Of course it doesn't mean that I want my contract to be terminated because the team rely on me. When my agents and I indicated to the club officials that I would like to move to another club on loan they agreed with us and thought the same.

"The club said they rely on me for a long period and it made me very proud. But they added if I go then a seasoned goalkeeper may arrive at the club, which is understandable.

"The best way for me to improve is to play regularly. I don't know where I will play but talks are going well. I have offers from England and also from outside of England. I hope within 10 days or two weeks it will be a fact where I will continue my career - on loan."

Gulacsi knows he will have his work cut out replaced Reina in the first XI, but is proud to have been named on the bench a number of times under new boss Kenny Dalglish.

He added: "I had a fruitful time at Tranmere last year, I played 16 games. Then I went back to Liverpool in December and I sat on the bench on 19 Premier League games and on four Europa League games.

"It was a great honour and a fine experience. It sounds good to be the second goalkeeper of Liverpool but in this case I don't play. Pepe Reina is another level, I have to improve a lot if I want to be as good as him.

"At the moment it is not going to happen that the Liverpool line-up has my name in and it would be a mistake to wait for Reina's red card or injury. I want to play."

Reina is just 29 this yr. Can't see an Anfield future for Gulacsi unfortunately.
 
From what I've heard, he's very highly rated.
Seen some compilations and he looks to be the best up and coming goalkeeper we've had at Anfield for decades.

Reina will return to Spain some time in the future, so I'm guessing they're expecting Gulasci to be our next first choice goalkeeper.
Hopefully he'll move to a championship team. Wouldn't mind selling him with a buyback clause like Michailov.
 
He is very highly rated. We'd do well to have a sell-on/buy-back clause if we do decide to sell him.

HULL City could be set to land a goalkeeper who is primed for Championship football if Peter Gulacsi agrees to pen a season-long loan move to the KC Stadium.

Whilst there has been no official comment from the Tigers, the Mail understands the 21-year-old Liverpool shot-stopper will be present when pre-season training starts next week.

Having spent 17 league games on-loan at Tranmere in League One last season, the Hungarian is now seen to be ready for regular football at a higher level by the coaches at Anfield.

And with Tigers boss Nigel Pearson needing two new keepers, he is poised to challenge for the number one shirt in the forthcoming campaign.

According to James Pearce, a football reporter at the Liverpool Echo, he is highly thought of by Reds boss Kenny Dalglish but needs to gain more experience before he is seen as a viable rival to Pepe Reina at Anfield.

"I saw a lot of him last season at Tramnere and the lad is an exciting talent," he said.

"I know Kenny thinks a lot of him and when he became boss at Anfield, Gulacsi was immediately promoted to Reina's number two in place of Brad Jones.

"That meant he was on the bench for most games towards the end of the season and he didn't get the match practice he needed.

"It was always on the cards that he would be sent out on loan this summer and Hull City are getting themselves a solid goalkeeper."

At 21, agility is no problem for the 6ft 3ins Under-21 international, but Pearce says there's far more to the keeper's game.

He added: "He impressed everyone at Tranmere with his shot-stopping ability.

"He's also a big guy who commands the box very well.

"He will do a great job at Hull and they couldn't have got a better man for the job."

Gulacsi first came to the attention of Pearson and chief scout Steve Walsh when playing for the Reds' reserves following his arrival from Hungarian side MTK.

The duo regularly monitored the Anfield second string when in charge of Leicester, which is how they first scouted and signed defender Jack Hobbs.

Having played in the same youth team as Gulacsi on Merseyside, Hobbs' arrival at the KC Stadium this week means he will now be in familiar company if he finalises the switch.

The pair know each other well and have even played against each other, when Hobbs was at Leicester and Gulacsi was loaned to Hereford.

Having seen the giant keeper impress at the Bulls, where he made a decent display in a 3-1 defeat to Leicester at Edgar Street back in 2009, Pearson has kept a close eye on his progress.

He now looks set to arrive at the Tigers as part of the deal which has secured a pre-season clash against Liverpool at the KC on July 23.

CITY are also continuing to be linked with a move for Newcastle keeper Fraser Forster, with recent reports in the north east suggesting he could also join on a season-long loan.

The 23-year-old was the subject of a £1.5m bid by Celtic earlier this summer, but the Toon Army see him as a long-term number one and do not want to sell him.

However, manager Alan Pardew is not keen to loan him out to the SPL giants again because he feels he will face more of a test in the Championship.
