Chelsea Looking To Hijack French Giants’ Defender Swoop

Mukiele is heavily linked with leaving the Bundesliga outfit in the ongoing window and French champions Paris Saint-Germain have emerged as his one of his potential suitors.

The defender has agreed to terms on a contract with PSG over a summer move and they have been in talks with Leipzig over taking him to France.

And Die Roten Bullen and Les Parisiens have reached an agreement over a transfer for Mukiele but a move is yet to be sealed.

According to French outlet Foot Mercato, PSG could still miss out on Mukiele as Premier League giants Chelsea are trying to hijack their move for him.

Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel is keen to bolster his backline across several positions but their only defensive signing so far in the window is centre-back Kalidou Koulibaly.

The Blues want to bring in right-back Mukiele and are prepared to let striker Timo Werner return to Leipzig in order to facilitate a move for the defender.

Werner is claimed to open to returning to the Red Bull Arena while PSG are still confident of wrapping up a deal for Mukiele, although Chelsea could very well spoil their plans.
