Man City agree Rulli transfer
Rulli is set to be sent on loan once his move to City is confirmed
Manchester City are poised to announce the signing of Geronimo Rulli after agreeing a deal for the Argentine goalkeeper.
But the 24-year-old will not pose an immediate threat to Joe Hart.
Pep Guardiola is set to send Rulli out on loan for season once his £4m move from Deportivo Maldonado is confirmed.
Rulli has spent the past two seasons in La Liga with Real Sociedad.
That has been enough to impress Guardiola, who has identified him as one of the most promising emerging keepers in Europe.
But he does not think he is ready to challenge Hart as City’s No1 immediately - and will instead allow him to continue his development before he moves to the Etihad.
Despite intense speculation over Hart’s future since Guardiola’s appointment, the England international is still considered City’s first choice.
As revealed by MEN Sport, the 29-year-old remains highly thought of among the club’s Abu Dhabi hierarchy.
And with Willy Caballero also staying on as his understudy, it is only the third choice position that is up for grabs this summer.
That could change in 12 months’ time - but Guardiola will give Hart chance to prove he is over his nightmare at the Euros in the Catalan’s first season in charge at the Etihad
