Gerónimo Rulli Returns to Manchester City on Two-Year Deal

The 34-year-old Argentina international is expected to serve as an experienced backup to Manchester City's starter.

Overview

  • Manchester City officially presented Gerónimo Rulli on Wednesday after he signed a two-year contract that runs through the summer of 2028.
  • Rulli joins from Olympique de Marseille where he was the regular starter over the past two seasons and played more than 70 matches for the club.
  • This is Rulli’s second spell at City following a 2016–17 season in which he was on the squad but did not make a first-team appearance.
  • Rulli brings a strong high-pressure track record, including his decisive role in Villarreal’s 2021 Europa League shootout win and long-term involvement with Argentina’s squads at major tournaments.
  • City signed him to add proven depth behind the starter after selling their previous backup and the club’s staff praised his professionalism while coach Enzo Maresca highlighted rotation as a possible path for his early appearances.
