Kevin Kampl

Kevin Kampl of RB Leipzig was born in Solingen, Germany on 9 October 1990 (age 34)

Kevin Kampl, born on the 9th of October 1990, is a formidable midfielder known for his deft prowess on the defensive line. He currently plies his trade for the German club, RB Leipzig, wearing the jersey number 44. Known for his physical readiness, Kampl stands at 5 ft 10 in (1.78m) tall and weighs in at 10 st 7 lb (67kg) making him a formidable presence on the field.

With his contract set to expire on the 30th of June 2026, Kampl currently commands a market value of around £3m, according to Transfermarkt.

The German native embarked on his professional career journey in July 2009, joining Bayer Leverkusen in his homeland. Over the next few seasons, he staked his claim in the first team, making a total of 53 appearances and netting four goals during his stint between 2015 to 2018.

However, it was not all plain sailing for Kampl, who in August 2010 found himself sent on loan to Greuther Furth in the 2. Bundesliga. In a challenging debut season, Kampl only mustered a single first team appearance. Upon concluding his loan stint, he returned to Bayer Leverkusen where he continued his efforts to establish his footing in team.

In a bid to seek fresh challenges, Kampl embarked on a new adventure in July 2011, transferring to Osnabruck in the 3. Liga. His stint there saw him make 35 appearances and netting twice in the league. As the seasons rolled, Kampl's journey saw him transfer to VfR Aalen in the Regionalliga Nord for a fee of around £180k where he scored two goals in three appearances, and then to Red Bull Salzburg — for a considerably steeper fee of around £2.7m. His tenure at Red Bull Salzburg proved fruitful, seeing Kampl make 74 appearances and scoring 18 goals in league matches.

In January 2015, Kampl swapped the Austrian hills for the bustling streets of Dortmund, transferring to Borussia Dortmund for an astonishing fee of around £8.4m. His time there proved to be short-lived, with Kampl appearing only 14 times with no goal to his name.

Undeterred, Kampl sought another lease of life in his footballing career, and this came in the form of a transfer back to Bayer Leverkusen for a fee of around £7.7m. His second spell at Bayer saw him make 53 appearances and score four goals over a couple of seasons.

In an attempt to explore new pastures, Kampl found himself donning the colours of RB Leipzig, having transferred for a hefty sum of £18m. Since then, Kampl has become a regular feature in the team, making over 182 appearances and scoring seven goals over the course of six seasons as of the season of 2024-2025.

His journey also saw him step onto the European stage, participating in the Champions League for the years of 2023-2024 and 2024-2025, featuring in a total of eight games for his club, RB Leipzig.

Despite never have played for Celtic, the journey of Kevin Kampl tells the story of courage, perseverance, and an undying passion for the beautiful game of football. From humble beginnings to gaining recognition in one of the biggest leagues in the world, Kampl surely marks himself as one to watch.
