Manchester City pursues Rulli to reinforce goalkeeping
City seek a keeper after Trafford's departure to Leeds and are negotiating with 34-year-old Gerónimo Rulli from Marseille.
Manchester City are making moves in the goalkeeper market. According to Mundo Deportivo, Enzo Maresca's side have submitted an offer to Olympique Marseille for Gerónimo Rulli, the 34-year-old Argentine shot-stopper who won the World Cup in Qatar 2022.
The move comes following the imminent departure of James Trafford to Leeds United for €47 million. Rulli has reportedly agreed personal terms with the English club: a two-year deal. Now the two sides must finalize the transfer details.
Maresca commented ahead of City's friendly in Seoul: "There's nothing new yet, James is still a City player and Rulli is still a Marseille player, so we'll wait in the coming days". Rulli brings extensive experience in Spain: five seasons at Real Sociedad (170 matches) and three at Villarreal (80 matches), where he won the Europa League.
