Presnel Kimpembe, the 30-year-old Paris Saint-Germain central defender whose contract expires in June 2026, has returned to competitive action for the 2024-2025 season after two years out of action. But he is reportedly struggling to find space and is now being pushed towards the exit. L’Equipe reported this Wednesday that a move to Qatar is imminent.
“The central defender is very close to signing for Qatar Sports Club, currently second in the local league after three wins in as many matches.
Negotiations are progressing, and some sources are announcing a positive outcome before the end of the Qatari transfer window (September 16). Several clubs in the Middle East, particularly in Saudi Arabia, have tried to land the 2018 world champion, without success so far.”
For the past few days, Kimpembe appears to be heading to Qatar. This is confirmed today, although we cannot be certain until it becomes concrete. The defender hasn’t been called up for the matches, a clear message from coach Luis Enrique. Now they have to find a destination.
There aren’t many options left, as the transfer window is now closed in many countries. Qatar and Saudi Arabia remain, with the former expected to welcome Kimpembe. We hope this happens, in any case, so he can get some playing time.
