Arriving in the 2022 summer transfer window, 27-year-old central defender/full-back Nordi Mukiele has failed to establish himself at Paris Saint-Germain. Hampered by injuries, especially in 2023, and rarely used by coach Luis Enrique, he is expected to leave for Sunderland after a loan spell at Bayer Leverkusen. L’Equipe and RMC Sport confirm the move, with a €12 million transfer fee.
L’Equipe:
“The PSG defender, under contract until 2027 and in the loft for several weeks, had rejected Saudi offers at the start of the transfer window. Other English clubs had also made a move. Paris is making a solid financial move in this case: arriving in the summer of 2022 from RB Leipzig for around €10 million, Mukiele is being sold three years later, with a capital gain.” The transfer amount is estimated at around €12 million.
RMC Sport :
“Nordi Mukiele will sign for Sunderland, as revealed by RMCsport
Transfer valued at around €12 million”
There’s almost no doubt about this sudden transfer, with several media outlets discussing it. Except for the exact amount, the one announced here seems quite credible. This corresponds to a high-level player, but one who has experienced some complicated periods and who clearly doesn’t have a place in the capital. We’re still waiting for certainty; the transfer window can change quickly. But we expect concrete confirmation relatively soon.
