Manchester City Signs Gerónimo Rulli from Olympique de Marseille
Manchester City has completed the signing of goalkeeper Gerónimo Rulli, 34, from Olympique de Marseille, as confirmed by both clubs. City has chosen the Argentina international as their preferred candidate to serve as Gianluigi Donnarumma’s backup following the transfer of James Trafford to Leeds United.
The Cityzens, under Enzo Maresca, have reached a €3.8 million agreement with Les Phocéens for the former Montpellier and Villarreal goalkeeper. Rulli has signed a two-year contract with Manchester City and will don the No. 28 jersey.
Rulli joined Marseille in the summer of 2024, making 73 appearances for the club since then. After a strong debut season with coach Roberto De Zerbi, Rulli experienced a significant decline in performance last year. To fill the gap left by Rulli’s departure, Marseille is reportedly considering Neom’s Polish goalkeeper Marcin Bulka. The Ligue 1 side has made a loan proposal to their Scottish Premiership counterparts.
