Borussia Dortmund are ready to make a move for AC Milan forward Stephan El Shaarawy at the end of the season.

Dortmund will lose star striker Robert Lewandowski to arch rivals Bayern Munich and they have targeted the 21-year-old Italy international as his replacement despite being hampered by injury this season.

Sportsdirectnews.com reports that Jurgen Klopp would be willing to part with €18 million for the services of El Shaarawy and Milan could be tempted to offload the injury plagued forward as his form has dipped from the heights of early last season.

El Shaarawy enjoyed a break out campaign last season with the Rossoneri notching 14 Serie A goals before the arrival of Mario Balotelli, before his form plummeted and he only managed a further two goals in the second half of the season.
