A Major Transfer in Football: French Defender, Who Spent Two Decades at Club, Joins Qatari Team
More than fifteen years ago, he first appeared in the jersey of Paris Saint-Germain, and over this period, he became one of the team’s key figures.
However, in early autumn, this player unexpectedly announced his move to a club in Qatar, causing a significant stir in the football world.
Presnel Kimpembe, a 30-year-old defender with extensive experience and numerous trophies, leaves French clubs where he has played since 2005 and has become a symbol of PSG.
His debut in the Parisian main team was in 2013, and since then, he has been an indispensable part of the club’s defense, helping the team win eight French championship titles, six French Cups, six French Super Cups, and achieving European success by winning the Champions League last season.
On the international stage, he also proved himself, winning the FIFA World Cup with France in 2018.
However, his move to a new team will soon change the familiar balance in Paris, as he was a competitor for the central defense position with Ukrainian player Illia Zabarni, who joined PSG this summer.
Previously, a Russian goalkeeper playing for PSG refused to comment on the situation involving the Ukrainian defender, adding more intrigue to the transfer story.
