Kimpembe: “I am very, very proud to have been part of the Paris Saint-Germain family”
“Hi family, it’s Presko, Parisian people, a new page is about to be written and turned. I am very, very proud to have been part of this Paris Saint-Germain family. It has been an honor for me to defend these colors for so many years. It was a battle, of course, but also a lot of joy and many successes. I’ve made so many encounters and gained a lot of values. There was a lot of respect and many things to defend: a beautiful team, a great club.”
Kimpembe: “I leave with my head full of memories, and I simply wanted to say thank you”
“I have had so many beautiful moments, so many emotions, and I simply wanted to thank the whole club. The president, the staff, my team, all the players I was able to play with, exchange with, and learn from. I also wanted to thank the supporters, because without you we are nothing. It was an honor to share these moments with you, whether at the Parc des Princes or away. I leave with my head full of memories, and I simply wanted to say thank you.”
Kimpembe: “I wish you all the very best for the future”
“I also wanted to thank PSG for Communities, I was very honored and proud to be its ambassador. I want to tell all the coaches, staff, and the children that you are magical. Keep believing in yourselves and in your dreams. I wish you all the very best for the future and, of course, I want to say that we will see each other again soon. It’s never over. I just wanted to say thank you, good luck to everyone, and see you soon.”
