Any fish large enough to swallow a goldfish will probably do so. Most fish eating birds will also eat them. Then of course there are the human idiots. People who swallow live goldfish because they think it is a 'smart' or 'in' thing to do.
A goldfish does not have a predator, but it can still die from lack of food or water.

Only place goldfish into an aquarium with other similar-sized goldfish. Having a deep enough and wide enough outdoor goldfish pond with a few aquatic plants living in it for your goldfish to hide in, will help them avoid becoming prey to those predators.

How big can goldfish grow if they are free in the wild?
Yes, the rate at which a goldfish grows, and its overall size, is often partially determined by its environment.

If you want your goldfish to grow into large healthy fish you'll buy them a large aquarium or pond to live in.
