“The move has been approved by the player,” Romano reported, adding that Bettinelli will travel with the squad for the upcoming FIFA Club World Cup.
Marcus Bettinelli has completed a move from Chelsea to Manchester City as their new third-choice goalkeeper, journalist Fabrizio Romano confirmed on Sunday.
“The move has been approved by the player,” Romano reported, adding that Bettinelli will travel with the squad for the upcoming FIFA Club World Cup.
The 32-year-old joined Chelsea in 2021 but featured only once for the Blues — in a 5–1 FA Cup win over Chesterfield. With one year left on his contract at Stamford Bridge, the switch to City gives Bettinelli another shot at top-level football.
City’s decision to bring in the experienced shot-stopper adds depth to their goalkeeping ranks ahead of a busy summer of competitions.
