Gerónimo Rulli Nearing Transfer to Manchester City

Manchester City are in advanced talks with Olympique de Marseille to re‑sign Argentine goalkeeper Gerónimo Rulli. The club has reportedly offered around €2 million, while Marseille seeks roughly €3.5 million for the 34‑year‑old, who has agreed personal terms on a two‑year contract. Rulli, an eight‑cap international who was part of Argentina’s 2022 World Cup squad and is in contention for the 2026 tournament, would provide experienced backup to Gianluigi Donnarumma after James Trafford is expected to leave for Leeds United.

Rulli originally joined City in 2016 from Deportivo Maldonado but never made a senior appearance, spending time on loan at Real Sociedad before moving permanently to Marseille, where he has been first‑choice keeper. The potential move would mark his return to the Premier League after a decade abroad, with the club viewing him as a low‑risk, low‑cost addition to strengthen squad depth.
