The Parc des Princes star defender, who represents France internationally, is rumored to be leaving this summer.
Presnel Kimpembe’s future at Paris Saint-Germain is still being debated, and according to GOAL, Chelsea is still interested in the France international defender.
The PSG academy produced the 26-year-old center back, who has made almost 220 appearances for the Ligue 1 champions this season.
Although club president Nasser Al-Khelaifi has expressed a desire to keep a core of Parisians in the team’s star-studded lineup, those remarks are not being reflected in the current transfer market.
Who are PSG being linked with?
As speculation rages around Kimpembe, PSG are reported to be one of the parties interested in Inter defender Milan Skriniar.
They are also looking at Italy international Gianluca Scamacca, who has been impressing at Sassuolo, and Portuguese midfielder Renato Sanches – with the former Golden Boy award winner restoring his reputation at Lille.
A deal for Vitinha is also in the process of being pushed through, with the Portugal international set to arrive from Porto.
