The Italian attacker will join the Ligue 1
title challengers on an initial loan deal and will complete the transfer on
Monday following a medical
The
22-year-old broke into the Rossoneri's ranks in 2012-13 but a plummet in form
after the mid-season arrival of Mario Balotelli was followed by a long-term
foot injury.
The Italy
international never truly shone under Filippo Inzaghi in another fitness-hit
campaign and he was deemed surplus to requirements following the arrival of
Carlos Bacca and Luiz Adriano.
It emerged
on Friday that Monaco were close to securing a deal to bring him to Stade Louis
II and on Milan Channel has now confirmed the attacker will be
having a medical with the French club on Monday.
El Shaarawy will initially join Leonardo Jardim's men
on a €2 million loan deal, although if he features 15 times for les Rouges et
Blancs then it is believed that will trigger a clause to buy for an additional
€16m.
Monaco finished third last season in Jardim's first
season in charge and reached the last eight of the Champions League, despite
having lost star players such as James Rodriguez and Radamel Falcao.
This summer they have already sold Yannick Ferreira
Carrasco and Geoffrey Kondogbia to Atletico Madrid and Inter respectively,
while Falcao was once again sent out on a money-spinning loan to the Premier
League.
