Nordi Mukiele at PSG, things are heating up! Pending departure for several days and released by Leipzig on Monday to allow him to continue his negotiations with his future club, the French defender is expected from this Monday evening in Paris where a five-year contract with the club of the capital is promised.
PSG quickly advanced in this file to complete the arrival of the right side, 24 years old. Contacts between the Red and Blue club and its German counterpart were revealed a little less than a week ago. Despite the very slight rumor this Monday of a gamble from Chelsea in this case, it is Paris Saint-Germain who have won the day and who should conclude this relatively affordable transfer, Mukiele only having one more year of contract with the flagship club of the Red Bull team. The latter posted a farewell message to Leipzig on social networks.
“I wanted to thank you for everything you have done for me, wrote the French international (1 selection). You made me feel at home from the first day I arrived and it is with a heavy heart that I leave today. I would like to thank everyone involved at the club, who help us achieve our goals on a daily basis. The history we have built is also yours. To my brothers in the field, let’s keep this legacy alive. To the coaches and staff that I had during these four seasons: thank you. With you, I discovered the highest level of football. Today I am a better player but also a better human being and I was able to achieve some of my personal dreams also thanks to you. »
See you Wednesday at Camp des Loges
On the sidelines of his team’s great victory in his final preparation match in Japan, against Gamba Osaka (6-2), Christophe Galtier had reacted to the possible arrival of the player from Leipzig. “The club is working to improve and strengthen this workforce, announced Christophe Galtier. We’re going to get on a plane, we’re going to take a long 12-hour trip, we’re going to sleep and when we land we’ll have maybe one or two, maybe three more players, four, five… We’ll see what happens this week.” Without assuming if he will be waiting for them on the tarmac, Nordi Mukiele should therefore be there when the Parisians return from their tour in Japan and for the resumption of training sessions at Camp des Loges, scheduled for this Wednesday four days before the Trophée des Champions in Tel Aviv.
After Vitinha, who made the trip to Japan, and Hugo Ekitike, who is preparing for his part in Paris, the native of Montreuil will therefore be the third Parisian recruit of the summer. Pending other possible arrivals, as suggested by Galtier. PSG are still actively working on several files, the most advanced being undoubtedly that of Lille’s Renato Sanches. He can, on the other hand, give up on the Italian Gianluca Scamacca, a time tracked but who was no longer a priority since the arrival of Hugo Ekitike from Reims, and who will engage with West Ham. Above all, Paris will have to get down to selling. To date, apart from Alphonse Areola and Marcin Bulka, Paris has still not sold any player, despite a long list of “undesirables” who remained in Paris during the Japan tour.
