World Cup winner Gerónimo Rulli linked with Manchester City move
Argentina goalkeeper Gerónimo Rulli, part of the team that won the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, is on Manchester City's radar. According to transfer specialist Fabrizio Romano, the Olympique de Marsella goalkeeper is the main candidate to strengthen the English team's goalkeeping position.
What happened with the negotiations?
Manchester City is looking for a goalkeeper due to the imminent departure of James Trafford to Leeds United. Rulli, 34, has a contract with Olympique de Marsella until 2027 and his market value is six million euros. The English club is willing to pay that amount to sign him.
Why is this important for Argentina?
Rulli was part of the historic Argentina team that won the 2022 World Cup and reached the 2026 World Cup final. His experience and career in European football make him a luxury signing for any team.
What's next for Rulli?
If the deal goes through, Rulli will join Manchester City and compete for a spot with Gianluigi Donnarumma. Currently, Argentina leads the 2026 World Cup with 9 points, 3 wins and 0 losses in 3 games, with a goal difference of +7. Their last result was a 1-0 loss to Spain on July 19, 2026.
