Julián Ezequiel Aude Bernardi (born 24 March 2003) is an Argentine professional footballer who plays as a left-back for Major League Soccer club LA Galaxy.[3]

Club career

Aude began his footballing career at the age of five with Club Biblioteca Popular Nicolás Avellaneda, a year prior to his arrival at Lanús.[2] Having trained with the senior set-up in December 2019, Aude made the breakthrough into the first-team towards the end of 2020.[2] [4] Luis Zubeldía initially selected him on the substitute's bench on five occasions, three times in the Copa de la Liga Profesional and twice in the Copa Sudamericana.[3] Aude's senior debut soon arrived in the former competition on 29 November 2020 against Talleres, as he featured for the final six minutes of a home win after replacing Facundo Quignon.[3]

On 21 March 2023, Aude signed with Major League Soccer side LA Galaxy on a five-year deal for an undisclosed fee.[5]

International career

In 2018, Aude began representing Argentina at U17 level.[2] After featuring in a friendly against the United States, Aude made six appearances at the 2019 South American U-17 Championship as they won the trophy.[3] He wasn't selected for the subsequent FIFA U-17 World Cup, due to the fact he was recovering from surgery after being diagnosed with knee tendonitis.[2] [6] In 2019, as well as one for the U16s, Aude received a call-up from the U17s for the 2019 Granatkin Memorial; which they won.[7] [8]

Personal life

Aude was born in Argentina and is of Italian descent, holding dual citizenship.[9]
