Presnel Kimpembe has departed Qatar SC, the club confirmed in a statement released Tuesday evening. The French defender is now a free agent after his contract with the Qatari side expired. Qatar SC thanked Kimpembe for his time with the club and wished him well in his future career.
The 30-year-old central defender joined Qatar SC in September 2025 following a long association with Paris Saint-Germain. Kimpembe spent two decades with PSG, becoming a key figure in the French capital, but his playing time had diminished prior to the move. He featured in 11 matches across all competitions for Qatar SC, primarily between September and November 2025.
Kimpembe’s recent seasons have been hampered by injury, leading to limited appearances for both PSG and Qatar SC. Before joining Qatar SC, he had endured two largely blank campaigns, prompting his departure from the French champions. He was a product of the PSG academy, earning the nickname ‘Titi’ during his time with the club’s youth system.
His exit from Qatar SC opens the possibility of a return to European football, though his recent injury record may present a challenge. Several clubs may be interested in acquiring a player with Kimpembe’s experience and pedigree on a free transfer, but his fitness will be a key consideration. The defender’s next move could prove crucial as he seeks to reignite his career.
