Manchester City has officially unveiled Argentine goalkeeper Gerónimo Rulli, who joins from Marseille in a symbolic £1.7 million transfer. The 34-year-old shot-stopper was brought in as a backup for Gianluigi Donnarumma, following James Trafford's move to Leeds. Rulli has signed a two-season contract.
Rulli previously had a stint at Manchester City during the 2016/17 season, on loan from Real Sociedad, but did not make a single first-team appearance at that time.
“This is an incredible opportunity for me, and I had to seize it. When a chance to join Manchester City arises, you have to take it. Everyone knows what an impressive club this is. City's success has been remarkable for a long time. Everyone I've spoken to about City said I should join them because they are a club with incredibly high standards. Every professional wants to be in a high-performance environment, and I can't wait to get started because I know I will improve and learn, which is always my main priority. My job now is to train hard, get to know the players and staff, and do everything I can to reach my best level,” Rulli told Manchester City's official website.
