Manchester City is on the verge of finalizing another key signing as Geronimo Rulli prepares to join the Cityzens. The Premier League champions have acted swiftly to enhance their goalkeeping options, reaching an agreement with Olympique de Marseille for the experienced Argentine international.

According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Rulli is set to undergo medical tests at Manchester City on Monday, following a complete agreement between the two clubs. Romano announced on X:
“Geronimo Rulli will undergo medical at Manchester City on Monday after deal agreed today with OM. Club statement to follow next. #MCFC”

The transfer fee is reported to be between €3.5 million and €3.8 million, with the 34-year-old World Cup winner agreeing to a two-year contract that will keep him at the Etihad Stadium until 2028. This move comes after the departure of James Trafford, prompting new manager Enzo Maresca to seek a seasoned shot-stopper to bolster squad depth and competition.

This transfer marks a notable return for Rulli, who initially joined Manchester City in July 2016 from Deportivo Maldonado but was loaned out to Real Sociedad without making an official appearance for the club. Since then, he has built a commendable career, notably saving the winning penalty in the 2021 Europa League final against Manchester United, and has also played for Ajax and Marseille.

Rulli’s addition continues Manchester City’s active transfer window for the 2026/27 season, where they have already secured the significant signing of Elliot Anderson from Nottingham Forest for £116 million. The club has also invested in emerging talent, bringing in Jeremy Monga from Leicester City for £10 million and young goalkeeper Pierce Charles from Sheffield Wednesday. With Rulli's medical on the horizon, City is poised to strengthen its squad further as they aim for another title challenge.
