Transfer news – Kimpembe urged to leave PSG, shock announcement

Presnel Kimpembe, the 29-year-old central defender of Paris Saint-Germain whose contract ends in June 2026, has a future that remains uncertain as he has somewhat regained competition this season after 2 years without playing. Le Parisien announces a clear choice from PSG on Tuesday.

“As the next season is about to start, the Parisian number 3 is not in Luis Enrique's plans. He is even one of the players for whom the club has clearly opened the door to a departure. The Parisian leaders want to move forward with the player's agreement to find a formula that would satisfy everyone. The objective is quite clear: to find a sports project in which Kimpembe, under contract until 2026, would be able to regain rhythm, intensity, and sensations in a fulfilling environment. Meetings should follow soon to clarify his future. Whether he stays or leaves PSG in a few days, Kimpembe has already made his mark on the club's history by winning 20 trophies, including 8 French championship titles and a European championship title.”

We could have doubted it a little, but a huge step is coming for PSG and Kimpembe. The defender trained in Paris is a child of the club, where he has spent his entire professional career so far. He has experienced everything, including winning the Champions League last season.

However, there is also this terrible period of injury that keeps him away from his best level. The delay seems very hard to catch up, and we have seen him still have some physical problems since his return. A departure would therefore make sense.

Kimpembe is 1 year away from the end of his contract, it's time for a choice. The defender is likely to play very little again, it would be more interesting sportingly to change clubs in order to try to regain an important role.

However, nothing is done yet. It's just a rumor. Titi can also have in mind to show this August that he still has a say at PSG. The club should be listening to its emblematic defender.
