Sunderland have signed their 12th new player.

Sunderland are close to completing the signing of Nordi Mukiele from PSG for a fee of around €12 million, marking their 12th signing of the summer of 2025.

Mukiele will bring experience and versatility to Sunderland's defense.

According to RMC Sport , Sunderland are close to completing the signing of Mukiele, with approval from both his current club and a personal agreement reached with the player. This deal marks a significant step in Sunderland's campaign to strengthen their squad ahead of the 2025/26 Premier League season.

Mukiele, who can play as a right-back or centre-back, is highly regarded for his versatility and experience in major leagues. With 100 Bundesliga appearances for RB Leipzig (2018-2022), 30 UEFA Champions League appearances, and appearances for the French national team, he is considered a quality addition to Sunderland's defense.

Sunderland had an impressive summer transfer window with 11 new signings. According to Opta , Sunderland has the most new signings in the Premier League this season. Among the top five major European leagues, only Como (Serie A) has a similar number of new signings.

Mukiele's arrival will push Sunderland's spending to surpass €160.5 million in the summer of 2025, placing them fifth on the list of Premier League teams with the highest spending, behind Manchester United, Arsenal, Manchester City, and Liverpool. However, if you consider actual spending (money spent on players minus money from player sales), Sunderland will actually spend more than Liverpool (€101 million) or Tottenham (€110 million). The Black Cats' spending is only behind Manchester United, Arsenal, and Manchester City.
