On the cusp of Germany's winter break, Julian Green has made a significant change on his career path.
The U.S. forward will leave Bundesliga powerhouse Bayern Munich for second-tier Stuttgart once the January transfer window opens, signing with the club through 2019. The 21-year-old Green, who famously made the USA's 2014 World Cup roster and scored in the round of 16 against Belgium, has found playing time hard to come by under Carlo Ancelotti, despite making the matchday roster on a more frequent basis than he had in the past for the first team.
Green appeared in just two German Cup games this season, scoring one goal.
