It is the start of a monument that will have known everything in the Paris Saint-Germain jersey. As expected, Presnel Kimpembe (30) says goodbye to his heart club to join Qatar, and more precisely Qatar Sports Club with which he has just committed.
Legend of PSG, “Presko” turns one of the most beautiful pages in the history of the Parisian club which he had joined at the age of 8 and which he therefore left more than 20 years after to open a whole new chapter in the Middle East.
In Paris, the Titi passed the ladder one after the other. In young people, first, where he was not necessarily perceived as the best talent of his generation before making a place in the first team and never letting go. Over the years, he will have embodied the values of excellence, loyalty, combativeness too, dear to Paris Saint-Germain which he leaves with a heavy heart, but the feeling of duty accomplished.
Upset by injuries
As a real lover of PSG, Kimpembe has always proudly worn the red and blue jersey and leaves with the wardrobe filled with trophies: 27 in total, including 8 titles of champion of France and this victory in the Champions League. The most beautiful, a dream behind which he had been running for so many years … galleys and combat!
Strengthened by injuries in the past two or even three years, the 2018 world champion has not been, certainly, no longer a holder for coach Luis Enrique but he kept a leader in the group and was a benchmark for the youngest that he did not fail to integrate with the greatest benevolence.
Perceived as “the big brother” of the team, the native of Beaumont-sur-Oise (Val-d’Oise) established a relationship of trust with President Nasser Al-Khelaïfi who had led by prolonging it until 2026 despite a delicacy body. His best years, we find them between 2017 and 2021, from Unai Emery to Mauricio Pochettino, with the high point of this exceptional match against Barça … from Luis Enrique, where he had extinguished Lionel Messi at the Parc des Princes on a 4-0 evening.
Presnel Kimpembe is committed to Qatar Sports Club as part of a final transfer.
As a child of the Paris region, Titi, captain and leader, Presnel Kimpembe will forever remain a major player in the history of Paris Saint-Germain. ❤️💙

Paris provides a tribute to the Parc des Princes
The park, his garden precisely, a stadium in which he experienced his most beautiful victories, disappointments too, but where the ultras have always wore him an unwavering love. The warm ovation of supporters for his return to the Champions League against Brest on February 19, says everything he represents for this club of which he knows the slightest employee, from the intendant to the porter.
It has been more than two years since the defender had no longer played at home, at home, stopped net by a serious Achilles tendon injury which will have deprived him of competition for almost 800 days! This nightmare behind him, Kimpembe wants to find the pleasure of playing, of flourishing on the grounds.
In Paris, the arrival of Ukrainian Illia Zabarnyi came to complete an overloaded sector in which he no longer had his place. In agreement with its leaders, the left -hander finally takes the most predictable turn by joining the Qatari championship like Draxler, Diallo or Verratti before him. He now deserves an outing worthy of his name.
According to our information, PSG intends to pay him a tribute to the Parc des Princes in a few weeks, the time to find a date that suits everyone.
In the meantime, President Nasser Al-Khelaïfi sent a first tribute to Kimpembe this Sunday: “Presnel Kimpembe had an incredible career in Paris Saint-Germain. Since the age of 8, Presnel has grown up and has developed at all levels in his heart club, where he has always been an ambassador and a model of professionalism. It is a fantastic example for young players in our training center and will always be part of the Paris Saint-Germain family. On behalf of the PSG family, we wish them a lot of success for the future and their next adventure. »»
