Ammon News - Manchester City have signed Argentine goalkeeper Geronimo Rulli from French club Olympique de ​Marseille on a two-year contract, the ‌Premier League side said on Wednesday.

The 34-year-old arrives as a replacement for James Trafford, who left City ​to join Leeds United.

Rulli returns to ​Manchester City after spending the 2016-17 season ⁠at the club without making a senior ​appearance. He joins as experienced cover, with ​Gianluigi Donnarumma remaining City's first-choice goalkeeper.

"This is an amazing opportunity for me and one I had to ​grasp," Rulli said in a club statement.

"When ​the chance to join Manchester City comes along, you ‌have ⁠to take it. Everyone knows what an impressive club this is."

Rulli has won eight caps for Argentina and was part of ​the squads ​that won ⁠the 2022 World Cup in Qatar and the 2024 Copa America.

The ​goalkeeper has enjoyed spells across Europe ​with ⁠Real Sociedad, Montpellier, Villarreal and Ajax Amsterdam. During his time at Villarreal, he played ⁠a ​key role in the Europa ​League final victory over Manchester United in 2021.
