Manchester City have confirmed the signing of Argentine goalkeeper Geronimo Rulli from Marseille on a two-year contract. The 34-year-old joins the club for a reported fee of £1.7 million, pending international clearance. Rulli will serve as backup to Italian shot-stopper Gianluigi Donnarumma under manager Enzo Maresca.
Rulli is returning to Manchester City for a second stint, having previously been at the club during the 2016-17 season, though he made no first-team appearances during that period. The experienced keeper expressed his enthusiasm about the move, describing the opportunity as one he could not pass up. He emphasized the prestige of joining such a successful organization and highlighted the club’s well-established reputation for maintaining exceptional standards.
Speaking to the club’s official website, Rulli outlined his objectives for his time at the Etihad Stadium. He indicated his focus would be on intensive training sessions, building relationships with teammates and coaching staff, and continuing his personal development as a player. The Argentine international stressed that operating within a high-performance environment remains his primary goal, as he aims to reach peak form during his tenure with the Premier League club.
