Manchester City secured a decisive lead in the summer transfer market by issuing an official proposal to the French Olympique from Marseille following the transfer of goalkeeper Jeronimo Ruglia. Authoritative football insider Fabrizio Romano tells us about this.

Negotiations between clubs are currently ongoing and remain in an active stage. This idea became a logical development of the new developments of the past year, when information was received about the intention of the locals to sign a new goalkeeper. The Argentine is seen as a direct replacement for James Trafford, who may soon leave the club.

Manchester City head coach Enzo Maresca notes that he signed for the safety and value of the rest of his team. An important factor is that the 34-year Argentine goalkeeper himself has already given the right time to move to the Etihad.

Guess what, Jeronimo joined the French club in 2024 from Ajax for 4 million euros. Last season, Ruliya played 39 matches in all tournaments. Contract with Marseille insurance until summer 2027. Transfermarkt is valued at 6 million euros.
