Peter Gulacsi has revealed that Liverpool are on the lookout for an experienced new goalkeeper this summer as cover for established No.1, Pepe Reina.
The 21-year-old has made the bench on a few occasions since Kenny Dalglish returned to the Anfield club last season but he knows that it will be an uphill struggle to displace the highly regarded Reina, particularly if reports that Brad Jones could soon move to Merseyside are to be believed.
Gulacsi has spent a year out on loan with Hereford, two more with Tranmere Rovers and is keen to get more action on loan again next season.
"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,” he told Nemzeti Sport
"Of course it doesn't mean that I want my contract to be terminated because the team relies 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.
"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."
