AC Milan rule out Stephan El Shaarawy exit

AC Milan have refuted talk of a summer move away from the club for Italy international striker Stephan El Shaarawy. There had been some suggestion that Manchester City would sell their star striker, but he will be staying at the San Siro next year instead.

After scoring 16 league goals last year, a number of English clubs were keen on the talented player.


But AC Milan denied this talk in a statement, saying: "There has been a meeting between [Milan vice president] Adriano Galliani, Stephan El Shaarawy and the young star's entourage," read a statement on the club’s official website.


"Everything went well. Stephan has always been an AC Milan fan and has reiterated his determination to continue playing for the Rossoneri.


"That pledge was reciprocated by Milan, with conviction. Milan and El Shaarawy will move forward together, as they have since 2011.


"No more talk of the transfer market, no more rumours.


"AC Milan, the Rossoneri colours and the 'Faraone' will absolutely continue on together."
