Nordi Mukiele Set to Join Bayer Leverkusen on Loan from PSG

As the summer transfer window draws to a close, Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) is actively seeking to offload several players. Among those on the verge of departure is Nordi Mukiele, the French full-back who is set to join Bayer Leverkusen on loan, having fallen out of favor with coach Luis Enrique. This move has sparked reactions from football pundits, including Daniel Riolo.

Having not been among the primary choices for Luis Enrique, Nordi Mukiele’s exit from PSG has been anticipated throughout the transfer market. Recent reports confirm that the former RB Leipzig player is indeed headed back to Germany, as he prepares to sign with Bayer Leverkusen on a loan deal.

Daniel Riolo’s Take on Mukiele’s Move

During a segment on After Foot, sports commentator Daniel Riolo shared his thoughts on Mukiele’s impending transfer to Bayer Leverkusen. He remarked, “Mukiele at Leverkusen? He still holds a good reputation in Germany, which is impressive. It’s a positive move for him after a year of limited action… He’s likely going there to add depth to the squad.”

Choosing Leverkusen: Mukiele Inspired by Xabi Alonso

According to reports from L’Equipe, additional details have emerged regarding Mukiele’s decision to join Bayer Leverkusen. The talented defender had attracted interest from clubs in both Italy and England, but ultimately chose to link up with the German side, largely influenced by the persuasive pitch from Xabi Alonso, the club’s head coach.
