Julian Baumgartlinger (born 2 January 1988) is an Austrian footballer playing for Bayer Leverkusen[1] and the Austrian national team.

Career

Growing up in the Austrian market town of Mattsee, Baumgartlinger started playing football at local USC Mattsee at the age of five. In 2001 he left Austria to join the renowned youth academy of TSV 1860 München. There he ran through all the youth teams and eventually got appointed for their first team in 2007. After having played 13 times, mostly as substitute, in the seasons 2007–08 and 2008–09 he accepted a call from Austrian FK Austria Wien to return to his homeland after eight years.

In Vienna he spent two successful years, he became a regular for his club as well as for the Austrian national team. This attracted the attention of Bundesliga team 1. FSV Mainz 05 which ensured his services for a transfer fee of a presumed €1,100,000.[2] On 19 May 2016, it was announced that Baumgartlinger had signed a four-year contract with Bayer Leverkusen.[3]
