Still only 27 years old, the Argentina goalkeeper is set to complete his medical as well as agree to personal terms with Montpellier on Monday.
RULLI joined Sociedad back in 2014 after gaining recognition back at his home club Estudiantes de la Plata. RULLI was Sociedad’s starting goalkeeper for the two seasons which followed but poor form found him lose his starting spot last season.
Argentina won the gold medal at the Pan American games in football as they won 4-1 against Honduras.
Fernando BATISTA’s team managed to win the entire tournament as the U23 team won the final. While star man Adolfo GAICH did not score, it was four different players who did.
Agustin URZI, Carlos VALENZUELA, Lucas NECUL and Fausto VERA got all four goals.
Congratulations to the Argentina team!
Sergio AGUERO scored his first goal of the season for Manchester City in their 5-0 win against West Ham United.
Despite starting the game on the bench, AGUERO still managed to score but not without controversy. Manchester City’s all time leading goal scorer was brought on as a substitute and Pep GUARDIOLA’s team were awarded a penalty.
AGUERO took his penalty but had it saved. The referee called for VAR and found the goalkeeper was off his line before AGUERO took his shot. The penalty was taken again and this time the Argentina man made no mistake in dispatching and made it 4-0 for the visitors.
Aguero makes it 4. Var thank you 😉 #MCFC
