Mukiele was popular in Spain…
In effect, Nordi Mukiele obviously had no shortage of suitors. The now player PSG could have joined the Spanish championship. According to information from brandthe real Madrid had in particular taken information concerning the French international. Mukiele could have done some good on the right in defense of Carlo Ancelotti where lucas vazquez is used to support Dani Carvajal. And the other Madrid club, theAtletico, would also have tried the blow last January. But Nordi Mukiele therefore ultimately did not join the squad of Diego Simeone.
… and in England
Besides Spain, Nordi Mukiele also liked the side of England. The Team had been able to reveal that several Premier League clubs had been interested in the summer rookie of the PSG. And in the last few days it was announced that chelsea was flat out, attempting a last-minute offensive to get ahead of the PSG. Following the departures of Rüdiger and Christensen and seeing Kounde run towards the FC Barcelona, the Blues are looking for defensive reinforcements. This will ultimately not be possible with Nordi Mukiele.
“I made the right choice”

And in his first words granted to the media of his new club, the Parisian justified this choice, admitting then: “ When I found out that Paris was interested in me and that they wanted me to come here, I had to think about it because it’s very important. It’s a very big step in my career, it’s not a choice to be taken lightly. But I think and I’m sure I made the right choice “.
” I am a happy man. I feel very good. And obviously I am very happy to be here today. (…) Playing at PSG is a source of pride when I am from Paris? Playing in his city is necessarily a dream. I grew up in the Paris region, in Montreuil more precisely, so playing for Paris is a source of great pride for me, for my friends and for my family. And I’m very happy that I was able to work hard and to be here today “, also added Mukiele after his transfer to PSG.
