All eyes will be on Gianluigi Donnarumma in net for Manchester City on Saturday.
On Wednesday night, City hosted Brighton with a spot in the Carabao Cup quarter-final on the line.
Despite the hosts starting on the front foot, Brighton took the lead just half an hour in through Malick Junior Yalcouye. The Malian winger found himself unmarked on the edge of the six yard box, played marginally onside by Ayyoub Bouaddi, from there a tap-in left the hosts trailing.
The opener spurred Maresca's side into action though, and just ten minutes later they were back level. Phil Foden found Mateo Kovacic just outside the area, and the Croatian international made no mistake with a wonderfully placed side-footed finish.
After the break it didn't take long for the visitors to take the lead once again. Georginio Rutter got himself goal-side of Mateo Kovacic and slotted home to the left of Geronimo Rulli, leaving Manchester City with all the work to do.

Manchester City spent a Premier League record £458m in the summer transfer window to complete a rapid rebuild of the squad.
The midfield trio of Enzo Fernandez, Elliot Anderson and Ayyoub Bouaddi have been brought in to the tune of more than £300m, replacing the departed Bernardo Silva, Rodri, Tijjani Reijnders and Nico Gonzalez.
Iliman Ndiaye, Allan and Geronimo Rulli were the other first-team players brought in by the club during this transfer window.
But they have also managed to recoup over £300m by selling the likes of Savio and James Trafford.

Manchester City have moved swiftly to reshape their goalkeeping department, agreeing a £1.7 million deal with Marseille for Geronimo Rulli.
According to Sky Sports, the 34 year old is set to sign a two year contract at the Etihad Stadium, providing experienced cover for Gianluigi Donnarumma next season.
Rulli arrives following James Trafford's club record transfer to Leeds United for an initial £40 million. Financially, the sequence of deals represents striking business from City, bringing in an established international goalkeeper for a fraction of Trafford's fee.

Manchester City have agreed a €2m (£1.7m) deal to sign Geronimo Rulli to give Gianluigi Donnarumma a new deputy.
City have moved quickly to find a replacement for James Trafford, who joined Leeds for an initial £40m this week.
Rulli, who will sign a two-year deal at the Etihad Stadium, will join from Marseille after two seasons as the French club's regular goalkeeper.
It will be the 34-year-old's second stint on City's books, though he is yet to debut for them after being signed in 2016, loaned to Real Sociedad and then bought by the Spanish club.
Rulli has also had spells at Montpellier and Ajax while he was a Europa League winner with Villarreal, both scoring and saving a penalty in the shootout in the 2021 final against Manchester United.

Manchester City have agreed a deal to re-sign Argentina goalkeeper Geronimo Rulli from Marseille for £1.7 million, according to BBC Sport.
The 34-year-old will return to the Etihad Stadium nine years after first joining City. Rulli spent the 2016-17 season at the club but did not make a first-team appearance before returning to Real Sociedad on loan.
He has agreed a two-year contract and will provide cover for first-choice goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma following James Trafford's departure for Leeds in a deal worth up to £45m.
Rulli has eight Argentina caps and was part of the squads that won the 2022 World Cup and 2024 Copa America. He also has extensive European experience, having played for Real Sociedad, Montpellier, Villarreal, Ajax and Marseille.
The goalkeeper was a key figure in Villarreal's 2021 Europa League final triumph over Manchester United. He scored in the penalty shootout before saving David de Gea's decisive attempt to secure the trophy.

One position at Manchester City that did seem uncertain was the goalkeeping position. The safe bet when the 2025-26 season ended was that Gianluigi Donnarumma would remain City's first-choice keeper under Enzo Maresca. The question was whether James Trafford would depart City and how he would be replaced if he did leave the club as expected. That answer has arrived with James Trafford completing a permanent move to Leeds United and Marseille keeper Gerónimo Rulli coming in to be Manchester City's backup goalkeeper.
Manchester City have announced today that James Trafford has signed for Leeds United. Trafford returned to City last summer when he completed a permanent move to the Etihad from Burnley. At the time, it did seem like Trafford would go on to become Manchester City's number-one goalkeeper after learning from Ederson. However, Ederson would leave City to sign for Fenerbahce and Manchester City would sign Gianluigi Donnarumma from PSG. Donnarumma's arrival meant that Trafford became Manchester City's backup and cup goalkeeper.
James Trafford did play a key role in Manchester City's FA Cup and Carabao Cup success last season. He started both finals and his triple-save against **** nal in the Carabao Cup final was pivotal to Manchester City's victory over **** nal at Wembley. Trafford's form throughout City's FA Cup run was also a key component of Manchester City's FA Cup triumph last season.
Speaking with mancity.com after his transfer to Leeds United was confirmed, James Trafford looked back on his two spells at Manchester City fondly. However, he did state that he had his own personal ambitions need to be fulfilled, hence the move to Leeds United. Speaking after signing for Leeds United, Trafford said: "Manchester City will always mean a lot to me. My two spells here were both really positive. To come through the Academy, learn the City way of playing football and spend time with so many top coaches and young players gave me a fantastic platform to have a career in the game."
"And to then come back and win two trophies felt really special. I have dreams and ambitions in the game to achieve, but I will always think of City with affection."

#city #james #season #move

Leeds United have signed James Trafford from Manchester City for a club-record fee of up to £45m and City are already lining up a replacement.
The England goalkeeper has inked a five-year deal at Elland Road and has become Daniel Farke's third signing of the summer.
City, who have inserted a 20 per cent sell-on clause, also have a matching rights option to sign Trafford for a third time if and when he leaves Leeds.
Enzo Maresca's side are interested in signing the Argentina international Geronimo Rulli from Marseille as Trafford's replacement and Gianluigi Donnarumma's deputy.
Trafford rejoined City last summer from Burnley when, after he had a record-breaking year in the Clarets' promotion-winning season, they matched Newcastle's £31m bid for him.

#replacement

Marseille are in need of a No. 1 goalkeeper after agreeing to part ways with Geronimo Rulli (34). The Argentina international is set to Gianluigi Donnarumma's understudy at Manchester City following James Trafford's departure for Leeds United. Rulli is set to cost Enzo Maresca's Cityzens close to €3,5m.
Rulli's exit leaves a big void to fill in Bruno Genesio's squad. L'Equipe reports that Marseille have made progress in their quest to find their new No. 1 goalkeeper. In the last few days, OM have identified Marcin Bulka as Rulli's replacement. The Pole has a vast experience of Ligue 1 football. He has been OGC Nice's starter for three seasons, between 2022 and 2025.
Bulka has only made his return to action a couple of months ago after tearing an ACL during a training session with Neom in September. L'Equipe adds that Marseille have submitted a loan offer to their SPL counterparts.

#made #geronimo

Manchester City have reached an agreement with Olympique de Marseille for the transfer of Gerónimo Rulli (34), according to a report from Foot Mercato. City have identified the Argentina international as their preferred option to become Gianluigi Donnarumma's understudy following James Trafford's departure for Leeds United.
The Premier League club had previously submitted an opening offer worth €2m for Rulli, but Marseille rejected the proposal and demanded at least €3.5m for the goalkeeper, who has entered the final year of his contract at the Vélodrome.
Rulli's agent, Kristian Bereit, subsequently travelled to Manchester City's training ground to advance negotiations, with the English club returning with an improved offer. Foot Mercato now reports that an agreement has been reached between the two clubs, although the precise financial details have not been disclosed.
Rulli has also given his approval to the move and is attracted by the opportunity to play in the Premier League. A handful of details must still be settled with the former Montpellier goalkeeper's representatives before the transfer can be formally completed.
The Argentine joined Marseille in the summer of 2024 and has since made 73 appearances for Les Phocéens. His expected departure would see OM lose another senior member of their squad after the exits of Mason Greenwood and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.GFFN | George Boxall

In a recent post on X, renowned journalist Fabrizio Romano stated that Manchester City are eager to recruit Olympique Marseille keeper Geronimo Rulli. It has been mentioned that the Mancunian giants are keen on signing the Argentine goalie after identifying him as an ideal replacement for James Trafford this off-season.
Rulli enjoyed a decent campaign at Marseille recently after he produced a run of solid displays for them in Ligue 1. The 34-year-old conceded 52 goals and kept nine clean sheets in 39 appearances for the French outfit last season in various competitions.
The Argentine talent is currently one of the most experienced keepers in his homeland. Hence, Man City would do well to get a deal done for him later this year.
His current contract at the French club will run out at the end of next season, which could open the door for the Mancunian club to land him in this transfer window.
