The Latest AS Roma News
Stephan El Shaarawy had a message of thanks for Roma supporters before he boarded a flight to China to seal his exit from the club.
The winger has been the subject of a long-running transfer saga, which is now set to conclude with his departure for Shanghai Shenhua, one year before the expiration of his contract. Roma will earn €16m from his sale - just €3m more than the eye-watering salary he will earn per year in China. Filippo Biafora of Il Tempo spoke to El Shaarawy at Fiumicino airport before his flight to the Far East. "I will always thank the Roma supporters for these years we have lived together," said the 26-year-old. "I will also always thank all the people that have worked at Roma."
El Shaarawy had been open to signing a renewal with Roma, but despite his repeated pleas for an extension, the club's player of the season is now set to leave after three-and-a-half years.
