Manchester City has signed Gerónimo Rulli, an Argentine international, as their backup goalkeeper to Gianluigi Donnarumma. The 34-year-old Rulli has agreed to a two-year contract with the Premier League club. He leaves Marseille after playing for the French team since 2024 and has also had stints at Real Sociedad, Villarreal, and Montpellier.
Rulli replaces James Trafford, who recently moved to Leeds. Trafford's departure was announced earlier in the week. Rulli's experience includes appearances for Argentina and being part of the World Cup-winning team in 2022. City's director of football, Hugo Viana, expressed his satisfaction with Rulli, praising his strong desire to join the club and highlighting his professionalism.
