Gaudino, is a youth product of the Bayern Munich Academy. He was promoted to the first team for the 2014–15 season after impressing Pep Guardiola.[3] On 13 August 2014, he made his first-team debut in the German Supercup, playing the full 90 minutes as Bayern lost 2–0 against Borussia Dortmund.[4][5] He made his league debut in the first match of the 2014–15 Bundesliga season as a starter against VfL Wolfsburg.[6] Bayern won the match 2–1,[7] and Gaudino became the fourth youngest debutant in the club's history.[8] Gaudino made his Champions League debut on 10 December 2014 in a 3–0 home win against CSKA Moscow.[9] For the 2015–16 season, he played for the reserve team[10] where he made 19 appearances.[11]
Gaudino was loaned out to FC St. Gallen on 9 January 2016 until the end of the 2016–17 season.[12]
In June 2017, Gaudino joined Serie A side Chievo Verona.[13] In August 2018, after having not been used frequently, Gaudino and the club agreed to mutually terminate his contract.
On 8 January 2019, Gaudino joined Swiss club Young Boys.[14] Young Boys won the league on 12 April after FC Basel dropped points against Grasshoppers. In the 2019–20 Swiss Super League season, Gaudino became a key player in the Young Boys' journey to winning the Swiss double by playing a total of 34 games and scoring five goals to push them in winning the Swiss League for the third straight time[15] and the Swiss Cup.[16][17]
On 9 June 2021, Gaudino returned to Germany where he joined 2. Bundesliga club SV Sandhausen.[18] In Sandhausen, however, he failed to make an impact and was mainly a substitute. This was partly attributed to Gaudino being sidelined after being tested positive for COVID-19.[19]
On 31 January 2022, Gaudino moved to Austrian club Rheindorf Altach on loan until the end of the season.[20]
Gaudino joined Swiss Challenge League club Lausanne-Sport on 29 June 2022.[21] The move reunited him with his manager at Rheindorf Altach, Ludovic Magnin.[22]
Gaudino was born in Hanau, Hesse, on 11 November 1996[2] and is the son of former German international midfielder Maurizio Gaudino.[23] He is eligible to play for either Germany or Italy due to his Italian paternal grandparents.
