Club career
Milan
Ganz started playing football as a child at the Masseroni Marchese football academy in Milan, before joining A.C. Milan's youth system at the start of the 2008–09 season.[2] He made his professional debut with the first team on 1 November 2011, coming on as a substitute for Robinho in a UEFA Champions League group stage match against BATE Borisov, which ended in a 1–1 draw.[3][4]
For the 2013–14 season, he was loaned out to Prima Divisione club Lumezzane.[5] However, the deal was cut short during the January transfer window and he subsequently joined Barletta on another loan for the remainder of the season.[6]
Juventus
After scoring 16 goals in Serie B for Como, Juventus signed Ganz on a four-year deal in May 2016.[9] He was immediately sent out on a season-long loan to Hellas Verona.[10]
International career
Ganz won 5 caps and scored one goal with the Italy under-19 side in 2011.[11]
