Presnel Kimpembe, the 2018 World Cup winner and former Paris Saint-Germain defender, is set to remain in Qatar after leaving Qatar SC. The 30-year-old is expected to sign with Al-Kharitiyath, a club in the Qatari Second Division. There, he will reunite with fellow Paris Saint-Germain academy product Kaïs Najeh, a 23-year-old full-back who has been with Al-Kharitiyath since 2023 and was named best full-back in the division. Kimpembe played 11 matches for Qatar SC last season. The move is part of a broader Qatari league initiative to develop its Second Division by combining emerging talents with experienced players to advance local football.
