Real Sociedad have reached an agreement to buy goalkeeper Geronimo Rulli from Manchester City, the La Liga club have announced.
Argentina international Rulli, currently appearing for his country at the Olympic football tournament in Brazil, has played for Sociedad on loan from Uruguayan feeder club SD Maldonado for the last two seasons.
Earlier this summer, Premier League giants City were reported to be in talks to sign the highly rated shot-stopper with the third party investment group that owns his "playing rights" while at Maldonado.
Rulli himself admitted he was aware of City's interest, while not commenting on reports that he had spoken with the Premier League club's new coach Pep Guardiola about the future.
