Stephan El Shaarawy is “very happy and excited” to sign for AS Monaco, while the club describes him as “the future.”
The Milan man completed his transfer today, on loan with mandatory option to buy for a total reported €18m.
“It’s a great feeling to sign here in Monaco. I am very happy and excited,” the Little Pharaoh told the official club website.
“I thank the President of AS Monaco for this opportunity and hope to have a great season. I want to make the fans happy.”
The move had already been considered in January, but was postponed after an injury.
“We are very proud to welcome Stephan El Shaarawy, whose arrival marks the highlight of our recruitment strategy,” added CEO Vadim Vasilyev.
“El Shaarawy has experience of several seasons at the highest level, but simultaneously represents the future. His talent allowed him to explode in front of the eyes of world football and we believe that AS Monaco will allow him to fully accomplish his potential.”
