He is one of the darlings of the Parc des Princes and one of the only PSG players to have been trained at the club. Parisian by birth, having grown up in the suburbs, Presnel Kimpembe or Presko as he is nicknamed, is now part of the team’s captains, along with Marquinhos or MarcoVerratti. A status that makes him a real football star, adored and very popular on social networks, but which also allowed him to have the joy of being called up to the France team.
Alongside his very successful professional life, Presnel Kimpembe is the proud father of two boys, Kayis and Kahil, whom he had with his partner, Sarah. A tidy family life for a 26-year-old sportsman who does not really expand on his private life, whether in the press or on social networks. But yesterday, the teammate of Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappé had a good reason to speak on his Instagram account. Followed by 3.2 million subscribers, he wanted to send a message that made a lot of noise. “Following the recent controversy in which my name was wrongly mentioned by people calling themselves journalistsI would like to state that everything that has been written or said about me is totally false”he writes in story.
What controversy can he be talking about?
A message as strong as it is mysterious since Presnel Kimpembe does not specify exactly what case it could be. According to RMC Sport, the Parisian could evoke theKheira Hamraoui case, in which his name was mentioned on social networks. But it could on the contrary be purely sporting, and concern the elimination of PSG in the Coupe de France. A match in which he did not participate in the penalty session, unlike a young club player, only 18 years old. Some felt after the fact that Presko should have taken responsibility at this crucial moment.
To conclude, Kimpembe indicates that he is “aware of the privilege of being able to exercise this profession (footballer) and of the responsibilities of a high-level athlete”. striving “to be as faultless as possible”he therefore hopes that his message will help to silence the rumors about him in a definitive way.
