Nordi Mukiele is reportedly close to joining Sunderland after a period of limited involvement at Paris Saint-Germain. The 27-year-old right and central defender struggled to establish himself at PSG and was hampered by injuries, particularly in 2023. Those setbacks contributed to sporadic selection under coach Luis Enrique.<\/p>\n
For the 2024-2025 season Mukiele spent time away from PSG on loan at Bayer Leverkusen. That loan was agreed without a purchase option. His contract with Paris Saint-Germain runs until June 2027, leaving the club and player with decisions to make now that he has returned to the squad.<\/p>\n
Several journalists and media outlets have reported progress in talks linking Mukiele with a move to Sunderland in the Premier League. The coverage naming the reports includes the following references exactly as provided:<\/p>\n

Multiple generally reliable sources converging on the same outcome has drawn attention to a transfer that had attracted little recent coverage. Given Mukiele’s profile as an athletic defender and his experience in top competitions, the potential move is viewed as an interesting prospect for the player.<\/p>\n
From PSG’s perspective, a departure for a player who is not in the coach’s plans would be positive. Details and formal confirmations remain pending, but there is a sense of cautious optimism surrounding Mukiele’s future as negotiations develop.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
