Paris Saint-Germain are in talks with RB Leipzig over the possibility of signing Nordi Mukiele this summer, according to Fabrizio Romano. Newly appointed PSG boss Christophe Galtier is apparently keen to bring a right-back in to provide proper competition for Achraf Hakimi; neither 20-year-old Thierno Balde nor 19-year-old Timothee Pembele, who is currently out with an ACL tear, have been able to properly challenge the Morocco international for the place in the team. The Ligue 1 champions are believed to have been watching Mukiele for some time, and Galtier feels the 24-year-old, who made his debut as a senior France international last September, is the right man to solve the issue. The personal terms between PSG and Mukiele have already been agreed, and the talks between the two clubs are progressing well. Leipzig signed Mukiele from Montpellier in 2018 for a reported fee of €16 million, and since then, the right-back has made a total of 145 appearances in all competitions for the Bundesliga club, scoring 10 goals and producing 11 assists.
PSG's Mauro Icardi 'ruled out of Leipzig tie due to family problems'
Paris Saint-Germain striker Mauro Icardi reportedly withdraws from the squad to face RB Leipzig due to 'family issues'. Paris Saint-Germain striker Mauro Icardi has reportedly withdrawn from the squad to face RB Leipzig due to 'family issues'. The Argentine's wife Wanda Nara - who also acts as his agent - posted a series of cryptic Instagram stories hinting at a separation over the weekend, and Mauricio Pochettino confirmed that Icardi was absent from training on Sunday. However, Icardi was on the list when PSG's squad for Tuesday's Champions League tie was announced, but according to L'Equipe, the 28-year-old has withdrawn just hours after being named in the team. The report adds that Icardi is 'very affected' by the drama surrounding his personal life and does not feel capable of playing, joining the injured Neymar, Sergio Ramos and Leandro Paredes on the absentee list. Icardi boasts three goals from 11 appearances in all competitions this season, and his absence coupled with Neymar's injury could see Julian Draxler drafted into the attack on Tuesday.
