JAKARTA - Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) has officially received the signature of RB Leipzig defender Nordi Mukiele. The presence of Mukiele became the club's fourth major signing in the transfer market this summer.

Prior to Mukiele, PSG had secured the signatures of Nuno Mendes, Vitinha and Hugo Ekitike. PSG tied the 24-year-old defender with a contract duration of five years.

Mukiele's presence is expected to give competition to Achraf Hachimi, who has been the mainstay. In addition, Mukiele can also be plotted as a central defender to cover Sergio Ramos, Presnel Kimpembe and Marquinhos.

The arrival of Mukiele certainly strengthens the already tough PSG squad. PSG coach Christopher Galtier is now able to field two different world-class starting XIs during the 2022-2023 season.

Reporting from GiveMeSport, the first lineup includes big names such as Gianluigi Donnarumma, Achraf Hakimi, Marquinhos, Presnel Kimpembe, Nuno Mendes, Danilo Pereira, Marco Verratti, Leandro Paredes, Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappe, Neymar.

While in the other starting XI, the coach can also reduce famous names that are no less scary for opponents. The team consists of Keylor Navas, Nordi Mukiele, Thilo Kehrer, Sergio Ramos, Juan Bernat, Idrissa Gana Gueye, Ander Herrera, Vitinha, Pablo Sarabia, Hugo Ekitike, Mauro Icardi.

So far, PSG is still the favorite club to win the Ligue 1 title in 2022/2023. However, the management goal is not only that, but also to bring the Champions League trophy to Paris.

Galtier's struggles with PSG and their new signings will begin by taking on Coupe de France champions Nantes FC in the Trophees Des Champions clash on Sunday. PSG will then start their 2022/2023 Ligue 1 title race against Clermont Foot on Saturday, the following week.
