Xabi Alonso's Leverkusen Reinforcements Continue With Mukiele Loan
Leverkusen Seal Mukiele Loan
Bayer Leverkusen have announced the loan signing of French defender Nordi Mukiele from Paris Saint-Germain.
The move comes shortly after Leverkusen's 1-0 victory over Jena in the DFB-Pokal, a competition they won in 2019 and 2021.
Alonso Targets Improvements
Manager Xabi Alonso expressed his desire for Leverkusen to improve following the signing of Mukiele.
Having finished third in the Bundesliga last season, Alonso's team is looking to challenge Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund for the title.
Kossounou Departs for Atalanta
The arrival of Mukiele coincides with the departure of defender Odilon Kossounou to Atalanta, who defeated Leverkusen in the Europa League final last season.
Kossounou has joined Atalanta on loan, with the Italian club expected to cover his entire salary.
