Despite his status as a manager, Presnel Kimpembe is not certain to stay at Paris Saint-Germain. Interested in his arrival, Chelsea advance their pawns to try to complete their transfer on this summer transfer window.
White welltt Chelsea ?
Presnel Kimpembe (27) has a special status at Paris Saint-Germain. Since the beginning of the QSI era, the French central defender is the only player trained at the club to have won over such a long period.
Despite everything, his place in the starting lineup is not guaranteed with the gradual return of Sergio Ramos and the announced arrival of Milan Skriniar. Two important facts that could push him into exile, he who asked his leaders for guarantees last month. Little words that did not escape Chelsea.
Tuchel pushes for Kimpembe
Indeed, the London club is looking to strengthen its rear guard following the successive departures of Antonio Rdiger and Andreas Christensen, while Csar Azpilicueta could also set sail. The 2021 European champion has already achieved a first huge blow by recruiting Kalidou Koulibaly for 40 million euros from Naples. But appetite comes with eating and the Blues are keen to bring in another world-class defender, as Matthijs de Ligt and Jules Kound have been probed.
However, the simplest track seems to lead to Paris, where Kimpembe has a profile that could perfectly match what Thomas Tuchel is looking for: rough, fast and able to evolve in several systems. The former coach of the French capital club is a big fan of the French international and pushes behind the scenes to reconnect with his ex-protege at the Parc des Princes, he who was very happy to find Thiago Silva, only a few weeks later. his departure from Paris Saint-Germain.
The least expensive track
According to Fabrizio Romano, discussions will accelerate between the two clubs. The Parisian leaders are not necessarily for a departure from Titi, but they do not close the door to him in the event of an interesting offer. It could definitely open if a check for 60 million euros reached their table. A sum that seems high for a player who has a little less than two years left on his contract. But it remains significantly lower than the prices claimed for De Ligt (€100m) and Kound (€90m).
The Italian journalist assures that Chelsea will soon offer between 45 and 50 million euros to try to convince the champion of France. A first offer which is not very far from the Parisian requirements but which should not be enough. There is no doubt that the resident of Stamford Bridge will try to be convincing to allow his coach to build up the Silva-Koulibaly-Kimpembe defense of which he dreamed so much when he officiated on the side of Paris. Even with three more years in the legs.
