🚨 RULLI'S BACK AT CITY, AND HE'S STILL A UNITED NIGHTMARE!

12 August 2026, 18:51
πŸ“ THE FULL PICTURE: Manchester City just locked up Argentina goalkeeper Geronimo Rulli from Marseille on a two-year deal. The 34-year-old is coming home to the Etihad, where he spent the 2016-17 season but never played a single first-team minute. City's paying Β£1.7m for him, per BBC Sport. He's the replacement for James Trafford, who bolted to Leeds for up to Β£45m, and he'll back up Gianluigi Donnarumma. Rulli's got a wild rΓ©sumΓ©: he scored the winning penalty and saved David de Gea's spot-kick to deliver Villarreal the 2021 Europa League title over Man United. Add eight Argentina caps, a 2022 World Cup ring, a 2024 Copa America, and a run to the 2026 World Cup final. The man's seen it all. πŸ’­ MY TAKE: This is a classic City backup move: bring in a veteran who's cool under pressure, knows the league, and won't whine about riding the bench. Rulli literally ended Manchester United's season in a penalty shootout, so City fans will love him before he even warms up. The Β£1.7m fee is pocket change for a guy with his pedigree. Smart, low-risk, high-vibes signing. Let's go.
