Stephan El Shaarawy, once seen as one of Italy’s most exciting young prospects, has finally resurfaced in transfer news. According to El Confidencial, AC Milan has offered the Italian-Egyptian forward to Real Madrid.
⚽ Career Update:
After a brilliant 2012/2013 season with 16 goals in 37 matches, El Shaarawy’s career was derailed by recurring injuries, which caused him to lose his starting spot at Milan.
The 2013/2014 season saw him virtually disappear from the spotlight, managing only a handful of appearances due to physical setbacks.
🔁 Transfer Talk:
Milan, looking to offload players and restructure their squad, has reportedly proposed El Shaarawy to Real Madrid.
It’s unclear whether Madrid would be seriously interested, especially given his injury history and their already stacked forward line.
However, his technical ability, versatility, and marketability (as a young, multicultural figure) might make him an interesting project for a top club willing to take a calculated gamble.
🤕 Key Issues:
Fitness and consistency remain the biggest concerns. Clubs will want to see signs that he’s recovered and capable of maintaining a high level over an entire season.
If a deal with Madrid doesn’t materialize, other European clubs may still view him as a worthwhile investment, particularly at a reduced fee.
This could be a pivotal moment for El Shaarawy — a chance to revive his career at a top club, or potentially a signal that a new chapter elsewhere in Europe is needed.
