Presnel Kimpembe, the 30-year-old Paris Saint-Germain central defender whose contract expires in June 2026, has returned to competitive action for the 2024-25 season after two years without playing. But he will struggle to find space and is now being pushed towards the exit. L’Equipe reported on Monday that talks were taking place in Qatar.
“The central defender, not in Luis Enrique’s Ligue 1 squad this season, is in advanced negotiations with an undisclosed Qatari club.
The 2018 world champion could sign there quickly, not this Monday, but in the coming days, as the market in Qatar closes on September 16th.”
This is credible; it’s even the outcome that has seemed the most likely since the beginning of the summer. With the transfer window closing later, Qatar could be an option for Kimpembe without having to finalize the deal today.
It may be difficult for the Titi to leave his favorite club, but he must accept it if he hopes to return to competitive football. Now let’s wait and see how this situation develops. Perhaps the defender could join Marco Verratti (Al-Duhail) or Julian Draxler (Al Ahli).
