It’s the continuation of the saga: a roundup of the latest Paris Saint-Germain transfer news. This update, published in the early evening, summarizes what has (or hasn’t) moved forward, what is close, and what has come as a surprise over the past 24 hours. Today’s focus: Nordi Mukiele and Presnel Kimpembe.
Official moves:
Nothing confirmed recently.
Transfers close to being finalized:
Nordi Mukiele to Sunderland:
There was almost no speculation around Nordi Mukiele, and then suddenly, since Friday, several outlets have reported that the 27-year-old defender is on the verge of signing for Sunderland. He would join the newly-promoted Premier League side in a deal worth around €13 million including bonuses.
It’s rare for the entire media landscape to align so quickly without substance, so an official announcement is expected soon. It looks like a good way out for Mukiele, and a rather decent deal for PSG, given he no longer had a role in the squad.
Possible transfers:
Nothing concrete at the moment.
Rumored options:
Presnel Kimpembe to Qatar:
The 30-year-old center-back has a deep connection with PSG that must be respected. But sportingly, he no longer truly fits into the squad. A departure is being discussed. According to RMC Sport, clubs in Qatar are showing interest. Further confirmation is still awaited.
