Man City Signs Geronimo Rulli from Marseille on Two-Year Deal

Manchester City has officially signed Argentina international goalkeeper Geronimo Rulli from Marseille on a two-year deal, as announced by both clubs on Wednesday. The 34-year-old goalkeeper will serve as City's number-two behind Italian Gianluigi Donnarumma.

Rulli expressed excitement about the opportunity, stating, “When the chance to join Manchester City comes along you have to go for it.” He previously spent the 2016/17 season at City without making a first-team appearance. Rulli has earned eight caps for Argentina and was part of the squad that won the 2022 World Cup and the 2024 Copa America, as well as reaching the World Cup final last month, where Argentina lost to Spain.

His career includes stints at clubs like Real Sociedad, Villarreal, Montpellier, and Ajax. Marseille, having been fined 10 million euros for failing to meet UEFA break-even targets, is required to sell players this summer to balance its finances.
