“I will now focus on my family at home, as I have done in recent months,” Kampl said.
“I wouldn’t completely rule out the possibility of returning to the field at some point, although it seems completely unrealistic right now as I dedicate myself to spending time with those closest to me.”
RB Leipzig Managing Director for Sports Marcel Schäfer said:
“Kevin has made a huge contribution to the club during his time here. Over his many seasons at the club, he became one of the faces of RB Leipzig, a leader both on and off the pitch, and played a huge role in the club's greatest successes with his strong and reliable performances.

“His decision to focus all of his energy on his family in this situation commands the highest respect and further highlights his exemplary character.”
Kampl joined RB Leipzig in 2017 and made 283 appearances for the club, scoring 10 goals and providing 23 assists.
