Monaco trigger El Shaarawy clause

By Football Italia staff

Stephan El Shaarawy played his 15th game for Monaco last night, obliging them to sign him from Milan.

The forward moved to the Ligue 1 side this summer on an initial loan deal, with a clause which makes the move permanent based on appearances.

Tuttosport notes that the Italian international played his 15th game for the club last night in the Europa League win over Qarabag, meaning the transfer is now mandatory.

It’s thought the Rossoneri will receive €15m at the end of the current season for the 22-year-old, who has yet to score in his nine League appearances for the principality side.
