Gerónimo Rulli, in the sights of a European giant to replace a legend of the bow

The world champion goalkeeper would be in the portfolio to take the place of Manuel Neuer in Bayern Munich, who suffered a complicated injury and also lost Yann Sommer.

Geronimo Rulliworld champion goalkeeper in Qatar, is in the folder of Bayern Munich directors, who are looking for a goalkeeper, given the injury he is going through Manuel Neuer and the last minute departure of the Swiss Yann Sommer.

Two weeks before the start of a new season and with the German Super Cup against Leipzig just around the corner -it will take place this Saturday- the Bavarian team is in an urgent need to incorporate a goalkeepersince it was left unprotected after the imminent departure of Sommer, goalkeeper of the Swiss National Team, to Inter Milan for a total of seven million euros.

With this panorama, added to the injury that Neuer suffered in his ankle at the end of last year and from which his return date is still unknown, the only one available is Sven Ulreich, 35, but who is not from coach taste, Thomas Tuchel.

That is how Rulli appears on the radar of possible options to join the German squad. The goalkeeper who emerged from Estudiantes de La Plata has been at the Ajax from Hollandwhere he showed high performances and became an important piece: 25 games, 25 goals conceded and kept his record undefeated in 10 opportunities.

However, there are still no formal conversations between clubs and nothing happens beyond a certain interest that makes Rulli an interesting candidate. “Ajax have been informed that Gerónimo Rulli is a subject at FC Bayern”explained the European portal Sky and the transfer expert Florian Plettenberg, on the cold situation in which the possible arrival of the former Villareal and Real Sociedad player to Bayern Munich is.

Beyond the search for a goalkeeper, the German team also continues to move in the market through other edges. On the defensive level, he took over the rights to Kim Min-jae, South Korean center back who was a key player and revelation of Scudetto champion Napoli. They are also looking for a benchmark in the area before the departure of the Senegalese Sadio Mané. That is why they long for the arrival of the English scorer Harry Kanefor whom they offered 80 million euros and are still awaiting a response from Tottenham.
