"Nordi Mukiele is an athletic and fast defender," said Bayer 04 sporting managing director Simon Rolfes. "With his profile he fits in perfectly with our team, he has a lot of Champions League experience with 30 appearances and he can play at right-back or as a central defender as an experienced player. Of course, his knowledge of the Bundesliga is a big plus for us. After 100 league games for RB Leipzig, Nordi knows all about the ins and outs of German football and he will be able to settle in quickly and further improve the quality of our squad," said Rolfes.
"It's really great for me to return to Germany and also to join the Bundesliga champions," said the 1.87 metre tall Mukiele. "Being able to play in the Champions League with Bayer 04 is a special attraction. I'm just looking forward to giving my all for Bayer 04 both in Europe as well as in domestic competitions."
