What Goes Into a Premier League Transfer? Gerónimo Rulli Reveals All

Gerónimo Rulli takes us through his move to Manchester City and his first days with the club...

The Argentinian goalkeeper arrived at City this summer to work with Gianluigi Donnarumma and Marcus Bettinelli.

At 34, he’s high experienced in European football having represented the likes of Real Sociedad, Villarreal and Ajax, as well as being part of his nation’s squad during their 2022 World Cup success.

It’s not Rulli’s first time with City, having briefly been at the club in 2016 before being immediately loaned back to Sociedad.

And in this video we see his excitement once he knew he was part of Hugo Viana and Enzo Maresca’s plans and how keen he was to make the transfer happen.

Then he goes into detail about what City’s history of great Argentinians, including Sergio Aguero, Pablo Zabaleta and Willy Caballero, means to him.

There’s also time for him to meet our fans at the pre-season ‘City Are Back’ event and in a special unveiling at the store.

As he comes to the end of his walk around the CFA, he best sums up his feelings with one succinct line.

“Even before I wore the shirt, I felt that part of me belonged here at City,” he said.
