Marc Oliver Kempf, a sturdy defender hailing from Germany, was born on 28 January 1995. Now 30 years of age, Kempf currently plies his trade at Como in Italy, defending the fort from the central defender position, shunning every attacking spasm with his 1.85m (6ft) height and 82kg (12st 12lb) weight. Donning the number 2 jersey, Kempf exhibits strength, agility, and accuracy, characteristics that are well-celebrated in his current market value.
At present, Kempf is valued around €3.00m (£2.5m), as stated by Transfermarkt. His contract with Como, which spans for one year and 12 months, is due to expire on 30 June 2027. It will be interesting to follow his journey ahead, considering his noteworthy contribution to his previous clubs.
With an initial taste of senior football in the 2012-2013 season with Eintracht Frankfurt in Germany, the young Kempf seized two first-team appearances. The succeeding year saw him making three appearances for the same entity. But it was his spell at Freiburg in Germany from seasons 2014-2015 to 2017-2018 where he made an overhaul of his footballing repertoire. He notched a commendable 68 appearances and netted seven times in the process.
Thereafter, he switched to Stuttgart in Germany to continue his endeavour. His tour with the club was indeed fruitful. In his four-season spell, from 2018 to 2022, he graced the field 88 times and succeeded in netting nine times. His performances indeed resonated within the perimeters of the club and beyond, consolidating his stature as a dependable defender.
Kempf's tantalising run continued at Hertha BSC in Germany. From season 2021 - 2022 to 2024 - 2025, he made 70 appearances in all and added five more goals to his career tally. His gametime, however, dwindled by the end of his tenure at the club, thus paving his way to Como in Italy.
In his first season, 2024 - 2025, with Como, Kempf stamped his authority with 31 first team appearances, a testament to his undeterred dedication and sturdy gameplay. As per the latest, Kempf is set to play for Como in Italy for the season 2025 - 2026. It will indeed be enthralling to see the German stalwart continuing his fine form, and adding more feathers of glory to his already illustrious career.
