Club career

[edit]

Huracán

[edit]

Gauto joined Huracán's youth department in 2015. At the traditional Argentine club he played at all youth levels, advancing regularly. Due to his quality and speed, trainer Israel Damonte promoted Gauto from their U-20 to their first team in 2020, giving him his first professional contract.[2] However, the arrival of corona cut short his visit in the top flight and he was assigned to the reserve team. Gauto advanced to the first team again two years later and he made his professional debut for them in the match against Tigre on 15 April 2022.[3][4] Gauto scored his first professional goal on 18 February 2023, during a championship match against Barracas Central. He scored after coming into play as substitute and thus contributed to his team's victory (2–0 final score).[5]

Basel

On 28 August 2023, Swiss Super League side Basel announced that they had signed Gauto on a five-year deal.[6] He joined Basel's first team for their 2023–24 season under head coach Timo Schultz. Gauto made his Swiss Super League debut for the club in the home game in the St. Jakob-Park on 3 September, coming on as a substitute in the 59th minute, as Basel played a 2–2 draw with Zürich.[7] He scored his first goal for his new club in the Swiss Cup away game two weeks later on 16 September. In fact he scored a brace, the team's fourth and fifth goals as Basel went on to win 8–0 against amateur club FC Bosporus.[8]

Loan to Deportivo La Coruña

[edit]

On 30 August 2024, Gauto was loaned to Spanish Segunda División side Deportivo de La Coruña, for one year.[9]

The team was eliminated in the round of 16 by Nigeria following the 2–0 defeat.[11]
