Paris Saint-Germain have announced the signing of France defender Nordi Mukiele from RB Leipzig. The defender has committed to a five-year contract that runs until 2027 with the club.
Mukiele joins at a time when PSG centre-back Presnel Kimpembe is being linked with a move away, and the 24-year-old may provide cover at centre-back if Kimpembe exits while also being capable of playing right-back.
