We have an exciting team and as one of the more experienced members of the squad, I really enjoy being able to lead the boys and grow with them,” told Kevin Kampl for the club website.

We still have a lot to achieve and I will continue to do my utmost to continue our success story.”
“Kevin Kampl epitomises RB Leipzig”

Not only for his football talent and style of play, but also for his role in the team and the club as a whole. Kevin embodies what it means to be RB Leipzig like no other and identifies with the club completely.

We are extremely happy that Kevko will continue to play for us in the years to come. He is a special person and uses his experience to help the team and the younger members of our squad. He is also a leader on the pitch, and his passion for the club, the city and our fans makes him an indispensable link between us all.”
