AC Milan expressed interest in acquiring 30-year-old French player Presnel Kimpembe as a contingency plan after encountering difficult negotiations with Manchester City for Manuel Akanji. However, Kimpembe reportedly did not wish to explore the opportunity with AC Milan, which meant no negotiations took place. Kimpembe, who has been facing injury issues and is not part of Luis Enrique's plans at Paris Saint-Germain, has participated in only 20 matches over the last three seasons. As his contract is set to expire in June 2026, it is anticipated that he will move to Qatar soon, despite AC Milan's attempts to sign him while searching for new central defenders. Ultimately, Kimpembe chose not to act on AC Milan's interest, leading to the absence of any negotiations. Transfermarkt lists the defender's current market value at €5.00m.
