Presnel Kimpembe, a 30-year-old defender trained at Paris Saint-Germain who moved to Qatar SC in the summer of 2025 after two seasons marked by injuries, is now a free agent. The Qatari club announced Tuesday evening that he would be leaving at the end of his contract.

“Qatar announces the departure of French defender Presnel Kimpembe from the club’s first-team squad. The club thanks Kimpembe for his time with the team and wishes him success in the rest of his career.”

Too far from his best level to realistically hope to play for PSG, Kimpembe had been able to take this way out in order to revive his career. He leaves after playing 695 minutes for the Qatari club, and his future is still unknown. We hope he already has some options, even if a return to the highest level of European football does not seem realistic.
