Donnarumma, get ready! Man City have found a new goalkeeper
For Geronimo Rulli, this transfer could be a chance to finish some unfinished business.
Details: According to renowned insider Fabrizio Romano, Manchester City are targeting Argentine goalkeeper Geronimo Rulli as their new back-up option to replace James Trafford. The keeper himself is interested in the move, and Marseille’s management is already aware of the English club’s intentions.
The need for a new reserve goalkeeper comes amid Trafford’s imminent departure. Earlier, Leeds reached a verbal agreement with Manchester City for the transfer of the 23-year-old Englishman for £40 million plus bonuses. The goalkeeper is set to sign a contract until 2031.
At the moment, there is no agreement yet between Manchester City and Marseille, but the English side are already working on the potential move.
This would be Rulli’s second stint at Manchester City. The Argentine was on the club’s books in 2016–2017 but didn’t play a single official match for the Citizens and continued his career at Real Sociedad.
Reminder: Record-breaking transfer in club history! Leeds agree deal for Manchester City player.
