PSG defender could bolster German giants

In this winter transfer window, Paris Saint-Germain faces a real challenge to strengthen its defense. Injuries have turned PSG's defense into a genuine battlefield during the winter of 2024. Nuno Mendes and Presnel Kimpembe have struggled to return to competition, Achraf Hakimi has departed to join the Moroccan national team in the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations, and Milan Skriniar has undergone ankle surgery, sidelining him for almost 3 months.

The arrival of Lucas Beraldo might not be sufficient, especially considering Nordi Mukiele's interest in joining Bayern Munich to have a more prominent role in the squad.

Bayern Munich, on the other hand, faces its defensive problems with the injuries of Konrad Laimer, Dayot Upamecano, and Joshua Kimmich. Although they secured a victory in the 13th round of the Bundesliga, coach Thomas Tuchel lost three key players due to injuries.

This has heightened Bayern Munich's interest in Nordi Mukiele, who demonstrates versatility and a clear desire for more playing time.

In the post-match press conference, Thomas Tuchel lamented the injuries and described the situation as, "A fibrous injury at the back of the thigh. It's a matter of weeks, not days. It's extremely bitter for Upa and for us."

With Konrad Laimer also facing injuries, Bayern Munich could actively seek the addition of Nordi Mukiele, as stated by Christophe Freund, the club's sporting director, to BILD newspaper. In this scenario, the door for Mukiele to join Bayern Munich seems to be slightly open, offering a potential solution for both PSG and the Bundesliga club.
