## Family of footballers
Football runs through the Mukiele family. The father, Norbert, played for several clubs in the [Île-de-France](https://www.edgepedia.org/ile-de-france) region and also at Malines in Belgium. The three brothers are Nordi, Norvin, and Nordan, and there is also a sister, Normélie. Nordi, the eldest, came through [Montpellier](https://www.edgepedia.org/montpellier) between January 2017 and June 2018, later played for Paris Saint-Germain, and as of the 2026/27 season is at [Sunderland](https://www.edgepedia.org/sunderland) in England. Norvin, born in 2001, plays as a striker at Les Sables-d'Olonne, with earlier spells at Nîmes and Torino.[3](https://mhscfoot.com/articles/2026-2027/equipe-pro/nordan-veut-ecrire-sa-propre-histoire/) • [4](https://www.transfermarkt.us/nordan-mukiele/profil/spieler/986285) • [5](https://www.staderennais.com/actualites/equipe-pro/premier-contrat-professionnel-pour-nordan-mukiele)
Nordan has said football began for him at home, watching his older brothers play.[3](https://mhscfoot.com/articles/2026-2027/equipe-pro/nordan-veut-ecrire-sa-propre-histoire/) When he scored his first professional goal for Rennes in March 2026, Nordi, then injured, and Norvin celebrated together.[7](https://www.lequipe.fr/Football/Article/Auteur-de-son-premier-but-en-pro-avec-rennes-nordan-mukiele-perpetue-une-tradition-familiale/1658214)
## Youth career
Mukiele grew up in the Paris area and spent six years in the [Paris FC](https://www.edgepedia.org/paris-fc) youth setup from 2013 to 2019, followed by two seasons at RC de Joinville from 2019 to 2021.[1](https://www.fff.fr/equipe-nationale/joueur/10475-mukiele-nordan/fiche.html) He joined the Stade Rennais academy in July 2021.[1](https://www.fff.fr/equipe-nationale/joueur/10475-mukiele-nordan/fiche.html)
His first international recognition came with France at under-16 level. Across six friendly matches in March and April 2022 he earned 5 caps and scored 1 goal, starting twice in 201 total minutes; his goal came in a 3–1 win over [Luxembourg](https://www.edgepedia.org/luxembourg) on 17 March 2022, in which he played the full 90 minutes.[1](https://www.fff.fr/equipe-nationale/joueur/10475-mukiele-nordan/fiche.html) In the 2023/24 season he was part of the Rennes squad in the Coupe Gambardella, France's national youth cup, scoring once in the round of 32 before the team faced [Olympique de Marseille](https://www.edgepedia.org/olympique-de-marseille) in the quarter-final.[5](https://www.staderennais.com/actualites/equipe-pro/premier-contrat-professionnel-pour-nordan-mukiele)
**First professional contract.** On 14 March 2024, at age 18 and while playing for Rennes' reserve side, he signed his first professional contract, running three years.[5](https://www.staderennais.com/actualites/equipe-pro/premier-contrat-professionnel-pour-nordan-mukiele) Florian Maurice, Rennes' technical director, described him as a player who keeps clearing each level, with interesting but still developing potential, and noted that Mukiele had already trained with the professional group in the preceding weeks.[5](https://www.staderennais.com/actualites/equipe-pro/premier-contrat-professionnel-pour-nordan-mukiele)
## Breaking into the Rennes first team
Mukiele made his [Ligue 1](https://www.edgepedia.org/ligue-1) debut for Rennes in September 2025.[6](https://www.staderennais.com/equipe-pro/nordan-mukiele) His 2025/26 season was one of substitute appearances: 8 matches, 0 starts, 88 minutes in total, 1 goal, and no assists or cards.[6](https://www.staderennais.com/equipe-pro/nordan-mukiele)
**The first professional goal.** On 8 March 2026 he came on for Arnaud Nordin at Nice and scored Rennes' final goal in a 4–0 win, striking right-footed from the edge of the penalty area beyond goalkeeper Yéhvann Diouf. It was his first professional goal, and came four days after a brace in the Challenge Espoirs, a competition for young Ligue 1 players.[7](https://www.lequipe.fr/Football/Article/Auteur-de-son-premier-but-en-pro-avec-rennes-nordan-mukiele-perpetue-une-tradition-familiale/1658214) In an interview after the goal he said that scoring in professional football had been his objective since his time at the academy.[6](https://www.staderennais.com/equipe-pro/nordan-mukiele)
## Loan to Montpellier
On 1 August 2026, Rennes announced that Mukiele, described as a player of the 2006 generation whose 2025/26 season had been marked by his first taste of professional football, had been loaned to Montpellier Hérault SC in Ligue 2 for one year, without an option to buy. The stated aim was for him to harden his game with regular playing time.[2](https://www.staderennais.com/actualites/mercato/nordan-mukiele-est-prete-au-mhsc)
The move reunited him with the club where his brother Nordi played in 2017–18. In his first months at Montpellier he became a regular starter in Ligue 2, and in a club interview in August 2026 he identified areas to improve: reading the game, sharpness in front of goal, and lucidity and strength in duels.[3](https://mhscfoot.com/articles/2026-2027/equipe-pro/nordan-veut-ecrire-sa-propre-histoire/) Database trackers list his market value at €1.00 million as of June 2026, with his Rennes contract running to 30 June 2028.[4](https://www.transfermarkt.us/nordan-mukiele/profil/spieler/986285)
