Did Paris have to rush the announcement? Following the victory against Metz (3-1), the capital club revealed the extension of Presnel Kimpembe until 2026. Since the start of the school year in September, the French international defender and his new representatives have been discussing an extension with sports management. Negotiations made complex by the player’s medical situation resulted in a two-season extension in recent days as his lease ended in June.
Initially, this extension was to be announced during the break, but PSG took everyone by surprise. For what reasons ? For several hours, information concerning the state of health of “Presko” had indicated a probable new operation on an Achilles tendon to come. Did they force Paris to rush its communication?
This extension will in any case allow Presnel Kimpembe not to find himself without a contract while he is convalescing or recovering. “Keep away from the field following an Achilles tendon injury, the defender should undergo surgical correction in the coming days, in order to return to competition as quickly as possible,” explains the club in a press release.
“Continue my story with my favorite club”
“I am very happy to continue my story with my favorite club. I thank Paris Saint-Germain, its president and its supporters for the renewed confidence. I hope to wear these colors again as quickly as possible,” declares Presnel Kimpembe who had made his extension in Paris his priority.
From the French champion and its president Nasser Al-Khelaïfi it is also a great mark of confidence for a player who arrived at the club’s pre-training center in 2005 but who has not played since February 26, 2023. And should not return to the field before next season.
