OFFICIAL: PSG sign Mukiele

After the signings of Vitinha and Ekitike, PSG have done their best to sign Nordi Mukiele as soon as possible, who will be a tough competitor at right-back for former Real Madrid player Achraf Hakimi.

The deal has been finalised and made official with RB Leipzig for between 12 and 16 million euros, according to reports from Germany. At the age of 24, Mukiele, who only had one year left on his contract in Germany, faces his most ambitious challenge on his return to Ligue 1.

The French-Congolese full-back joined Stade Laval in 2013 from Paris FC. He worked his way up through the ranks to professional football. In 2017, Montpellier signed him for 1.5 million in an excellent deal.

After 56 appearances, 53 starts, in a year and a half, Montpellier transferred him to RB Leipzig, who paid 16 million for a player whose progress was surprising top teams in Europe.

Mukiele spent four seasons at RB Leipzig, with whom he made 100 Bundesliga appearances, as well as 23 appearances in the Champions League. In total, he scored ten goals and provided seven assists.

Everything suggests that Galtier will go for a 3-4-1-2 formation, and Mukiele could easily adapt on the right wing, where he will play when Achraf is not available, who is more likely to be a starter in important matches.

In addition to his offensive performance, Mukiele excels in his versatility at the back. He has played as a centre-back and even as a left-back, on the left wing. Chelsea tried to fight for him until the end, but he is now a new Paris Saint-Germain player.
