NORDI MUKIELE NEWS

Joins PSG Mukiele has transferred to Paris Saint-Germain from RB Leipzig, it was announced Tuesday. He's committed to a five-year contract with his new club.

Impact Mukiele has been a consistent presence in Leipzig for the past four seasons and has started at least 21 times in the last three campaigns. He can play as both a right-back and on the right side of the midfield, which gives him more chances to play as an alternate to Achraf Hakimi and Pablo Sarabia. Given how deep this team is, Mukiele may not have many chances to prove his worth, but a long contract can give him time to survive while other big names move on to other destinations.
