Gaudino leaves Bayern for St. Gallen

Gianluca Gaudino has left Bayern Munich for St. Gallen on an 18-month loan deal as he searches for regular first-team action.

Bayern Munich has announced the move of promising youngster Gianluca Gaudino to Swiss outfit St. Gallen on an 18-month loan deal.

The 19-year-old came through the ranks of the Bayern youth academy and made his official first-team debut in the 2-0 German Supercup defeat at the hands of Borussia Dortmund in August 2014.

The midfielder went on to make 10 more appearances in all competitions in 2014-15, but was unable to make the next step in his development this term due to the stiff competition for places, with Xabi Alonso, Javi Martinez, Thiago Alcantara, Arturo Vidal, Joshua Kimmich, Philipp Lahm and Sebastian Rode all being preferred by head coach Pep Guardiola.
