Gerónimo Rulli

Key strength: Shot-stopping

Shot-stopper

At 33, World Cup-winning goalkeeper Gerónimo Rulli finds himself in an unfamiliar position at Olympique Marseille—watching from the sidelines. Despite zero appearances this season, the €8 million-rated Argentine remains an intriguing subplot in Marseille's campaign for European qualification. Roberto De Zerbi's side currently sits 4th in Ligue 1, with Rulli's international pedigree creating an enviable problem between the posts. The Argentine's competition from Jeffrey de Lange and Rubén Blanco has kept him waiting, but his experience—spanning Ajax, Villarreal, and lifting the 2022 World Cup with Argentina—makes him more than just a squad filler. With two yellow cards already accumulated (likely from bench incidents or training), Rulli's frustrations simmer beneath a professional exterior. His 2 yellow cards suggest he's an active, vocal presence even when not playing. Behind a defense marshaled by Leonardo Balerdi and Facundo Medina, Rulli's shot-stopping and command of the area remain ready weapons. As the season deepens and fixtures pile up, this proven winner waits patiently—knowing that at 33, every opportunity could be precious in what may be his final chapter at the elite level.
