Man City Signs Argentina International Rulli as Back-up Goalkeeper to Donnarumma
The 34-year-old Argentina international joins as experienced cover for Gianluigi Donnarumma after James Trafford moved to Leeds United.
- On Wednesday, Manchester City announced the signing of Argentine goalkeeper Gerónimo Rulli from Olympique de Marseille on a two-year contract, with the 34-year-old joining as backup to Gianluigi Donnarumma.
- Rulli returns to Manchester after previously spending the 2016-17 season at the club without making a senior appearance, having since played for Real Sociedad, Montpellier, Villarreal, and Ajax.
- Filling the void left by James Trafford, who joined Leeds United last week for up to £45million, Rulli becomes City's second summer signing under manager Enzo Maresca following Elliot Anderson's £116m arrival.
- Subject to international clearance, the goalkeeper will wear the 28 shirt; "When the chance to join Manchester City comes along, you have to take it," Rulli said regarding his return to the Premier League.
- Notably, the goalkeeper played a key role during his time at Villarreal in the 2021 Europa League final victory over Manchester United, and he holds honors from the 2022 World Cup and 2024 Copa America with Argentina.
