Manchester City has made a significant addition to their squad by signing goalkeeper Geronimo Rulli from Marseille. The deal, which could reach a total of £2 million, sees Rulli return to the Etihad Stadium, where he previously had a brief stint in 2016 before being loaned out to Real Sociedad.

Rulli, who has signed a two-year contract, will wear the number 28 jersey and is expected to play a backup role to Gianluigi Donnarumma. The Argentine goalkeeper was part of the national team that won the 2022 FIFA World Cup and has previously played for clubs like Montpellier, Ajax, and Villarreal.

This signing comes in light of James Trafford's recent transfer to Leeds United for £45 million, prompting City manager Enzo Maresca to seek a new goalkeeper. Rulli’s experience and recent performances make him a valuable addition to the squad as City prepares for the upcoming season.

In related news, Barcelona is reportedly pursuing Manchester City midfielder Rodri, having made an improved offer of over £51 million after an initial bid of £38.5 million was rejected. With Rodri's contract expiring soon and no indication of an extension, City is looking to secure a substantial fee from any potential transfer.

Additionally, City is also eyeing Brighton's Alexis Mac Allister as a possible replacement for Rodri, although no formal contact has been made yet. The situation surrounding Rodri remains fluid as both Barcelona and Real Madrid show interest in the Spanish international.

As the transfer window progresses, Manchester City continues to strengthen their squad while navigating the complexities of player departures and potential acquisitions.
