The 26-year-old has signed a four-year contract with the eastern club and has been given the squad number 44, as he had with his former club.
Leipzig's new signing will take part in a press conference at 13:30 CEST/11:30GMT alongside coach Ralph Hassenhüttl and sporting director Ralf Rangnick.
After breaking into the Leverkusen first-team fold in 2010/11, Kampl embarked on something of a nomadic path in the following years, representing Fürth, Osnabrück and Aalen in Germany’s lower leagues, before starring for an FC Salzburg side that won the Austrian Bundesliga in 2013/14.

Kampl, who is currently on international duty preparing for 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifiers against Slovakia and Lithuania, could make his Bundesliga debut for Leipzig away at Hamburg on 8 September.
