On January 5, the Spanish newspaper “As” reported that Argentine goalkeeper Gerónimo Rulli,’s move to Ajax has become definitive.
The Argentine goalkeeper will travel to Amsterdam within the next 24 hours to sign and undergo medical tests.
Born on May 20, 1992, Rulli is now 30 years old. He began his professional career with Estudiantes in his native country, and after playing for Real Sociedad and Montpellier, he joined Villarreal in the summer of 2020.
In his first season, he was mainly used in cup competitions, but he defended the goalmouth in 13 Europa League (EL) games, contributing greatly to the club’s first victory in the competition.
In the following season, 2021-22, he took over as “guardian god” and played 46 official matches. In addition to his saving ability, he is also skilled with his feet, and supports the “yellow submarine” from the back of the field.
A move to Ajax for the “modern goalkeeper” is imminent, according to “As”. According to As, Villarreal and Ajax are expected to reach an agreement on a deal worth about 10 million euros, unless there is a drastic change in the situation in the next few hours.
The report also said that Villarreal’s top brass are planning to include performance-based bonuses in addition to the transfer fee.
Meanwhile, As noted that the offer from Ajax for Villarreal had not been considered before Christmas last year. However, Ajax has now made another bid, and the player himself has expressed his willingness to take on the challenge of a new club.
The fact that Villarreal’s current contract with Rulli expires on June 30, 2024, and will most likely expire next season, also seems to be a factor in these negotiations.
On the same day, Fabrizio Romano, an expert on the transfer market, updated his official Twitter page. He also announced that Villarreal and Ajax had agreed to negotiate a deal. The Argentine goalkeeper will travel to Amsterdam within the next 24 hours to sign and undergo medical tests.
Although he did not get a chance to play at the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022, Rulli has been playing in La Liga for many years. Will he be able to show his full potential in the Netherlands?
