Marc Oliver Kempf

Marc Oliver Kempf of Como was born in Lich, Germany on 28 January 1995 (age 31).

Marc Oliver Kempf, born on 28 January 1995 (age 31), is a German central defender with Como. His career has been built less on noise than steady first-team use, with Freiburg an important early staging post.

His most productive league season came at Freiburg in 2015-2016, when he scored five goals in 30 appearances. That return hints at a defender capable of contributing at set pieces without pretending he was ever anything other than a centre-half first.

By 2025-2026, Kempf remains a regular presence for Como in Serie A, making 34 league appearances and scoring four goals. His market value is around £2.5m, according to Transfermarkt.

Kempf’s career is that of an established German defender who has carried useful experience from Freiburg into a continuing role in Italy. He is still part of the current Como side rather than drifting around the edges of it.

Kempf's senior route ran through Eintracht Frankfurt, Freiburg, Stuttgart, Hertha BSC and Como. The pattern suggests a defender who stayed at a solid level across Germany before a late-career move to Italy, rather than a player defined by loans or short-term churn.

The transfer history is measured rather than erratic. Freiburg signed him from Eintracht Frankfurt for €700,000, Stuttgart then picked him up on a free transfer, Hertha BSC paid an undisclosed fee, and Como committed €2.1m in 2024. That fee, alongside a current market value of €3.00m, indicates Como were buying an experienced first-team option rather than a low-cost punt.
