MANCHESTER, England (AP) — Manchester City's back-up goalkeeper to Gianluigi Donnarumma will be Gerónimo Rulli after the Argentina international joined from Marseille on a two-year deal on Wednesday.
The 34-year-old Rulli replaces James Trafford as City's second-choice goalie. Trafford left to join Leeds last week.
Rulli, who has played eight times for Argentina and was part of the World Cup-winning squad in 2022, has European experience after playing at Real Sociedad, Villarreal, Montpellier, Ajax and most recently Marseille since 2024.
He had a brief spell at City in the 2016-17 season.
“I have been really impressed by him during our conversations, a strong desire to join us," City director of football Hugo Viana said. “It’s clear we are getting a brilliant professional, as well as a top keeper.”

JAKARTA, Indonesia (AP) — Crews rescued 211 people and recovered the body of a passenger from a ferry that caught fire in rough seas Wednesday near the Indonesian tourist island of Bali, authorities said.
The Putri Yasmin ferry was traveling from Bali to the neighboring island of Lombok in West Nusa Tenggara province, when the fire broke out at about 4:15 a.m. The ferry was also transporting 44 vehicles and 53 motorcycles.
The Search and Rescue Office in Mataram, the capital of West Nusa Tenggara province, received an emergency report almost half an hour later and immediately deployed personnel and rescue vessels.
“Our top priority is the safety of all passengers and crew members,” said Muhammad Hariyadi, who heads the Mataram Search and Rescue Office.
Videos released by the National Search and Rescue Agency showed people wearing life jackets crowding an inflatable life raft in choppy waters during a rescue operation at sea, as thick black smoke billows from the ferry.
The rescue agency said that as of Wednesday afternoon, rescuers evacuated 211 people from the burned vessel, including 2 Australian tourists, and recovered the body of a 19-year-old Indonesian woman.
Initial reports had said the ferry was carrying 131 people, including 17 crew members, based on the ship’s manifest.
However, hours after the incident, officials said more people were aboard than listed. It is common in Indonesia for the number of passengers on a boat or ferry to differ from the manifest.
Authorities did not immediately account for the discrepancy between the initial passenger manifest and the higher number of people later reported rescued and evacuated.
“The response operation is ongoing, and authorities are continuing to account for all victims,” said Syamsurizal, head of the Lembar Port Authority. He said at least two injured passengers were rushed to a nearby hospital.
Syamsurizal, who like many Indonesians uses a single name, said investigators were determining the cause of the fire. He said that survivors told authorities the blaze appeared to have started in a cargo truck before quickly spreading through the ferry.
Hariyadi said the rescue effort was supported by six vessels, a helicopter, two inflatable boats and two private yachts. He said rough seas with waves reported as high as 4 meters (13 feet) complicated rescue efforts.
Wednesday's incident happened less than two weeks after another Indonesian ferry, the Mutiara Sentosa 2, caught fire in waters off the main island of Java, leaving at least five people dead.
Indonesia is an archipelago of more than 17,000 islands where ferries are a common method of travel. Disasters occur regularly, with weak safety enforcement often blamed.
