Manchester City targeting Gerónimo Rulli

Entities: Manchester City · Olympique de Marseille · Gerónimo Rulli · Mohamed‑Ali Cho · Manchester City Football Club

Overview

In late July 2026, Manchester City entered advanced negotiations to sign Olympique Marseille’s Argentine goalkeeper Gerónimo Rulli, with personal terms reportedly agreed and a transfer fee gap expected to be quickly resolved. By early August, Marseille were already preparing for Rulli’s likely departure, actively seeking a replacement by targeting former Paris Saint‑Germain keeper Marcin Bulka and exploring other options. The club’s focus shifted to securing a new goalkeeper while the City deal progressed.

Both snapshots reflect the same transfer saga, tracking City’s pursuit and Marseille’s response as the move approached completion.
