He made his first appearance for the club on August 28, beginning and then being replaced in the 85th minute of a 0–3 away loss to Krasnodar in the 2014–15 UEFA Europa League due to an ankle injury.

Rulli returned to action in November, and on December 20, 2014, he made his senior league debut, starting in a 1–1 away draw against Levante. He made many vital stops on January 4, the following year, to give the Txuri-urdin a 1–0 home win over Barcelona.

Manchester City signed Rulli for £4 million on July 19, 2016, in the Premier League.  He was loaned back to Real Sociedad shortly after, before joining them permanently in January 2017.

Geronimo Rulli signed Ligue 1 team Montpellier on a season-long loan with the option to make the move permanent on August 14, 2019.
