He had only 24 hours to make a decision: AC Milan or AS Monaco. Stephan El Shaarawy chose the latter.
It all happened so quickly this past weekend. Monaco had been following the Little Pharaoh since January, according to Football Italia, but injuries postponed the move.
Still, El Shaarawy seemed like he was caught off guard.
“It all happened very quickly, and in 24 hours I found myself having to make a decision that I am certain can be the best for me and for my career,” he wrote on his Instagram account (h/t Football Italia).
