Juventus consider January move for Stephan El Shaarawy

Juventus are considering a move for Monaco forward Stephan El Shaarawy in January, according to Italian outlet Calcio Mercato.

The 23-year-old is currently on a season-long loan deal at Monaco from AC Milan, with the Ligue 1 team having the option to make the move permanent for €14m at the end of the season.

However, Monaco would also be obliged to pay the amount if El Shaarawy, who has scored three times this season, plays a minimum of 25 games in the current campaign.

As a result, Monaco boss Leonardo Jardim has used El Shaarawy sparingly, with the Italian international thus far making 24 appearances for the French side.

The situation has infuriated both AC Milan CEO Adriano Galliani and the player, who is contemplating a move to Juventus.
