Paris Saint-Germain have confirmed their third signing in the current transfer window. As previously announced, the new player of the French champions is Nordi Mukiele. Leipzig will collect a fixed 12 million euros from the sale of the versatile footballer, while the Bulls could earn another 4 million euros through bonuses, and the player himself signed a five-year contract with the Parisians.Leipzig did not earn as they acustomed everyone due to the fact that Mukiele’s contract was due to expire next summer. It was speculated that the 24-year-old right-back would first extend his contract with the German club, and only then arrive on loan with a mandatory buyout so that Leipzig would earn some more money and Paris Saint-Germain would avoid Financial Fair Play. However, in the end, none of that happened and the Saints bought the Frenchman of Congolese descent out straight away.OFFICIAL: @NordiMukiele ➡️ @PSG_inside pic.twitter.com/heBXqxEFaf— 433 (@433) July 26, 2022 It remains to be seen what Mukiele’s role will be at Parc des Princes. His primary position is right-back, he often plays a bit more offensively along the right-out line, but that role last season was intended for Achraf Hakimi and it is hard to imagine that Mukiele will get an advantage over the Moroccan, but most likely he will be a backup option.However, as the native Parisian, thanks to his physical predispositions, successfully covers the position of central defender, some media speculate that by bringing Mukiele to Paris Saint-Germain, they definitely gave up on Milan Skriniar, whom Inter did not want to let go for less than 70 million euros.##NAJAVA_MECA_6529100##Be that as it may, Mukiele – who is born in the City of Light – came back to it after nine years. At youth level he played for Paris FC and Laval, then after a few senior seasons at Laval and Montpellier, he spent four seasons in Leipzig.”When I found out that Paris Saint-Germain was interested in me and wanted me to come here, I had to think about it, because it is very important. It is a very big step in my career and it is not a choice that is made lightly. But I think and moreover, I am sure that I made the right choice,” said Mukiele at the promotion.
