Experienced central defender Presnel Kimpembe has signed a two-year contract extension with Paris Saint-Germain. The French World Cup winner will now remain at the capital until 2026. His current contract was to expire in June.
The 28-year-old Kimpembe came through the PSG academy and signed his first professional contract in 2015. He has made 237 appearances for PSG. His illustrious career with the side includes seven Ligue 1 wins and six French Cup triumphs.
Kimpembe has made 28 appearances for France and was part of the World Cup-winning squad in 2018, but missed last year’s World Cup in Qatar due to an Achilles tendon injury.
He will undergo surgery in the next few days to resolve the ongoing injury.
I’m delighted to be continuing my story with the club I love," Kimpembe said. "I would like to thank Paris Saint-Germain, the president, and the fans for their renewed faith. I hope to wear these colours again as soon as possible.
