RB Leipzig goalkeeper Peter Gulacsi has explained leaving Liverpool.

The 29-year-old Hungary international has detailed why he was unable to make the step up to become first choice between the sticks for Liverpool.

"I went at the age of 17 and the first three years went as planned," said Gulacsi, speaking to World Soccer magazine.

"The coaches, led by Rafa Benitez, really paid attention to my development.

"They were planning step by step how I could reach the level of the first team and be the number one for the club.

"Unfortunately, after Rafa left there were many changes at the club with Roy Hodgson, Kenny Dalglish and Brendan Rodgers.

"They are all fantastic managers, but at that time, because the club was not doing that well, they had other priorities.

"For a young player it's a difficult situation but one you have to accept and understand.

"That's why I decided I needed a change and had to go somewhere else to be a number one keeper."
