If Olympique de Marseille was successful in its first part of the season, it is also largely thanks to its goalkeeper Geronimo Rulli. The Argentine goalkeeper has saved his team on numerous occasions. His performances have already made an impression and attracted the attention of major clubs abroad.
Sometimes in the shadow of more high-profile recruits like Mason Greenwood, Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg and the Frenchman Adrien Rabiot, Geronimo Rulli has his place among the good moves of Olympique de Marseille. The goalkeeper recruited for around four million euros perfectly justified the investment on his transfer from Ajax Amsterdam. In addition to his exploits on penalties from Brest's Romain Del Castillo and Lyon's Alexandre Lacazette, the Argentinian has saved his team on numerous occasions in recent months.
It is therefore not surprising to learn that his excellent performances are already beginning to attract attention abroad. According to the X account La Tribune Olympienne, major European clubs, including a Premier League resident, are on the lookout for Geronimo Rulli. These interested teams will closely follow his performances during the second part of the season. It may be difficult for Olympique de Marseille to resist possible attacks for their number 1 goalkeeper next summer.
A great added value for OM?
In order to achieve this, the Marseille club can consider an extension of its contract which expires in 2027. Especially since a salary increase would make it possible to reward the former Montpellier goalkeeper for his work in the cage. We must also take into account another hypothesis, that which would see Olympique de Marseille benefit from its rating on the transfer market. An attractive offer may very well encourage President Pablo Longoria to make a capital gain for his 32-year-old doorman. It remains to be seen whether Geronimo Rulli will maintain the same level of performance in the months to come.
