Kevin Kampl (born 9 October 1990) is a Slovenian footballer who plays as a midfielder for Bayer 04 Leverkusen in the Bundesliga, and for the Slovenia national football team.

Family and early years[edit]

Kampl was born in Solingen, Germany.[1] His parents moved to Germany from Maribor, a city near the Austrian border in northeastern Slovenia.[2] Kampl has dual citizenship and would have been eligible to play for Germany but chose Slovenia early on.

Career[edit]

Early career[edit]

Kampl began his career with Bayer Leverkusen. After some years in the youth team of Bayer Leverkusen II he signed for SpVgg Greuther Fürth.

On 30 August 2010, he signed a one season loan contract with SpVgg Greuther Fürth. Kampl made his first team debut on 29 October 2010 as a late substitute in a 2. Bundesliga tie with Erzgebirge Aue.[3] After only half a season for Greuther Fürth, he returned to Bayer Leverkusen during the 2010–11 winter transfer window.[4] Kampl made his Leverkusen 2010–11 season debut as a second-half substitute in the UEFA Europa League game against Metalist Kharkiv. In the summer of 2011, Kampl transferred to 3. Liga side VfL Osnabrück.[5] After having played a great season for Osnabrück, he joined newly promoted 2. Bundesliga club VfR Aalen for a transfer fee of €250,000. For Aalen however he played only four matches, scoring two goals and assisting another three. This marvelous start drew the attention of well-financed Austrian champion Red Bull Salzburg and they acquired him just before the end of the transfer window by fulfilling his release clause in the amount of €3 million.[6] He was nominated for the best player of the Austrian Bundesliga at the beginning of the 2013–14 season, but had to eventually concede to Philipp Hosiner.

Borussia Dortmund[edit]

On 22 December 2014, it was announced that he would join Borussia Dortmund on a five-year contract for a €12 million fee on 1 January 2015.[7] He was originally going to go to RB Leipzig.[1] He made his debut on 31 January 2015.[8] On 28 April 2015, in the DFB-Pokal semi–final against Bayern Munich, Kampl came on in the 83rd minute for Jakub Błaszczykowski and was sent–off after receiving a second yellow card; Dortmund went through to the final via a penalty shootout.[9]

Bayer Leverkusen[edit]

On 28 August 2015, Kevin returned to Bayer Leverkusen on a five-year deal.[10] He made his debut on 12 September 2015 versus SV Darmstadt 98. On 26 September, Kampl scored his first goal for Leverkusen in a 3–0 away win against Werder Bremen. Later, on 20 October, he scored his first UEFA Champions League goal in a 4–4 home group stage draw against Roma.

International career[edit]

Kampl is a member of the Slovenia national football team. He scored his first goal for Slovenia on 6 September 2013 against Albania, which Slovenia won 1–0.[11] Kampl scored his second goal in a UEFA Euro 2016 qualifying match against San Marino, the second of their 6–0 win.
