Shaarawy, AC Milan chief executive officer Adriano Galliani
has confirmed.
The 23-year-old forward spent the first half of the season on
loan at Monaco, but started only seven Ligue 1 games and
failed to score in 15 league appearances in total.
El Shaarawy has been left out of the Monaco side for each
of their last three matches, leading to Milan trying to move
him on to another team.
Roma boss Luciano Spalletti revealed on Saturday he had
spoken to the attacker and is a big fan of him as the capital
club close in on a loan move with an option to buy.
Galliani was asked for an update on the transfer on Monday
and he feels a finalised move is imminent.
"It is on the home straight with Roma – we will see if we can
close it on Monday," he said.
Galliani also said midfielder Antonio Nocerino was likely to
secure a move to MLS, while there is no movement on his
efforts to sign River Plate defender Leonel Vangioni in
January rather than wait until the end of the season.
He added: "At the moment there is no response from River
Plate on Vangioni. I think we will give it until July.
"Nocerino is the only player heading out. We are expecting
an offer from MLS to arrive and that could be a solution –
the transfer window in America closes in May."
