Gerónimo Rulli unveiled at Man City: “I joined the world’s best club” | OneFootball

Gerónimo Rulli was officially unveiled as Manchester City’s new goalkeeper. The 34-year-old Argentine arrives from Olympique de Marseille and signed a two-year contract with the English club, which paid €3.5 million for his transfer.

This will be the goalkeeper’s first experience in the Premier League. It also marks a return to the club, as he was signed by Manchester City in 2016, although on that occasion he did not make any official appearances for the first team.

In his first statements as a City player, Rulli made clear his satisfaction at completing his return to England. “I’ve come to defend the best club in the world. When the opportunity to join Manchester City presents itself, you have to go for it,” he said.

The Argentine also highlighted the level of demand he will face at his new team. “Every professional wants to be in a high-performance environment. My job now is to train hard, get to know the players and coaching staff, and do everything possible to reach my best level,” he said.

Rulli arrives with extensive experience in European football, following spells at Real Sociedad, Montpellier, Villarreal, Ajax, and Olympique de Marseille. At Villarreal, he also played a key role in the club’s 2020/21 Europa League triumph.

At Argentina national team level, he was part of the squads that won the 2022 World Cup in Qatar and the 2024 Copa América, as well as the team that played in the 2026 World Cup. He will now begin a new chapter in his career at one of England’s biggest clubs.

At Manchester City, Rulli will compete for a place in goal with Gianluigi Donnarumma and will bring experience to a squad that also features Argentine presence.
