Olympique de Marseille’s window of movement is very lively. . . and has no intention of stopping. After Lilian Brassier, Ismael Koné, Mason Greenwood, Pierre-Emile Højbjerg, Derek Cornelius and soon Valentin Carboni, the Marseille board will also have a vital factor before the start of next season: that of the goalkeeper. It was announced that Pau Lopez would leave for Como in Serie A, but the Spanish is blocked by OM, who are looking for a replacement. And since then, the Italian club have turned to Emil Audero, the goalkeeper of Sampdoria. Pau López will thus be able to forget his stopover in Lombardy.
But things are going in the right direction since after several failures, a new call-up is being signed up through Olympique de Marseille: Geronimo Rulli (32 years old). Having played for Manchester City, Real Sociedad, Montpellier and Villarreal, the Argentine and the 2022 World Cup. The Cup winner has also played for Ajax Amsterdam since January 2023, where he has played 28 games this season. Linked to Ajax until 2026, Geronimo Rulli recently made a call-up for the Olympic tournament with the Argentine, before being eliminated by Thierry Henry’s team. Blues (1-0).
And according to Fabrizio Romano’s data, which we can confirm, OM is indeed interested in the Argentine goalkeeper, and the Marseille club is already in contact with the player’s clan, as well as with Ajax Amsterdam to sign him. Gerónimo Rulli is very high on Roberto De Zerbi’s list, but the search for a goalkeeper is taking a long time, as the Italian coach is looking for a very quick profile to replace Pau López.
“If we find an intelligent replacement looking after the interests of the club, we will make a decision,” Pablo Longoria explained on July 9 about the arrival of a new goalkeeper. Since then, Marseille and Las Palmas have even reached an agreement. to incorporate Álvaro Vallés (26), but the Andalusian goalkeeper was finally not hired. The same did Filip Jorgensen (22 years old), whose number was too high and who despite everything went to Chelsea. in the Premier League. The search for goalkeepers remains undecided, as OM will resume the season on August 17 in Brest.
