Man City Sign Rulli From Marseille

Manchester City have confirmed the signing of Argentine goalkeeper Gerónimo Rulli from Olympique de Marseille, completing a deal that will see the 31‑year‑old join the Premier League club on a free transfer. Rulli, who has been a regular in Marseille’s backline since 2019, will replace the departing goalkeeper in the City squad, with the move officially announced on Monday.

The transfer, which involved no transfer fee, was agreed after City’s coaching staff evaluated Rulli’s experience in both Ligue 1 and international competition, noting his strong shot‑stopping record and composure under pressure. Rulli will join the squad ahead of the 2026‑27 season, adding depth to a goalkeeping department that has been a focus of the club’s recent recruitment strategy. He is expected to compete for the number one spot and provide a reliable backup option.

With the deal now finalized, City’s management expressed confidence that Rulli’s arrival will enhance the team’s defensive stability. The Argentine will report to training next week, where he will begin integrating with the club’s first‑team setup and preparing for the upcoming campaign.
