Man City sign goalkeeper Rulli from Marseille

Manchester City has completed the signing of Argentine goalkeeper Geronimo Rulli from Marseille. The 34-year-old is set to join the club on a two-year contract, with a fee of £1.7 million. This move comes as a replacement for James Trafford, who departed the club to join Leeds in a deal worth up to £45 million. Rulli will serve as an understudy to the club's first-choice goalkeeper, Gianluigi Donnarumma.

Rulli expressed his excitement about the opportunity to join Manchester City, a club he admires for its impressive history and high standards. He cited the club's success over a long period as a significant factor in his decision to join them. Rulli stated that he is eager to start his career at the Etihad Stadium, confident that he will improve and learn in such a competitive environment.

The goalkeeper has previously scored a penalty in Villarreal's 2021 Europa League final victory over Manchester United and has been a part of Argentina's national team, including their World Cup and Copa America triumphs. Rulli has also played for Real Sociedad, Montpellier, and Ajax during his career. His move to Manchester City marks the next chapter in his impressive career, offering him a platform to continue growing and contributing to the club's ongoing success.
