French Defender Presnel Kimpembe Joins Qatar Sports Club From PSG

‎French defender, Presnel Kimpembe, has signed a permanent deal with Qatar Sports Club from Paris Saint-Germain, the Ligue 1 club announced on Sunday, bringing his 20-year stint with the champions to a close.

‎The 30-year-old centre-back, who joined PSG’s academy in 2005, made 241 appearances, scored three goals, and captained the side 31 times.

‎He helped PSG win eight Ligue 1 titles, seven French Cups, six French Super Cups, and the 2025 Champions League.

‎In February, Kimpembe returned after nearly two years out with an Achilles injury, playing five games in all competitions.

‎”Since the age of eight, Presnel has grown and developed at every level within his beloved club, where he has always been an ambassador and model of professionalism,” PSG President Nasser Al-Khelaifi said in a statement.

‎”He is a fantastic example for the young players at our Youth Academy and will always be part of the Paris Saint-Germain family. We wish him every success for the future and his next adventure.”

‎Capped 28 times, Kimpembe was part of the France squad that lifted the 2018 World Cup and the 2021 Nations League trophy.
