Man City complete Gerónimo Rulli signing from Marseille

Manchester City has successfully signed Argentine goalkeeper Gerónimo Rulli from French club Marseille on a two-year contract. The 34-year-old will be with the team until June 2028, with City paying approximately £1.7 million for his services. Rulli will wear the No. 28 shirt and takes over from James Trafford as the team's primary goalkeeper, following Trafford's move to Leeds.

Rulli's return to Manchester is not his first visit to the club; he previously spent the 2016/17 season with City, though he did not make a first-team appearance during that time. Now, he brings a wealth of experience from his career across Europe, including stints at Real Sociedad, Montpellier, Villarreal, Ajax, and Marseille. The Argentine international has earned eight caps for his national team and was a vital part of the squads that won the 2022 World Cup and 2024 Copa América.

Notably remembered in English football, Rulli played a crucial role in Villarreal's 2021 Europa League final triumph over Manchester United. With his experience, Rulli is likely to provide valuable competition and cover for Gianluigi Donnarumma as the team prepares for the upcoming season under the guidance of manager Enzo Maresca.
