# Chelsea linked with Stephan El Shaarawy with Roma ready to sell

Chelsea are being linked with a move for AS Roma attacker Stephan El Shaarawy.

Reports in Italy from [Calcio Mercato](https://www.calciomercato.com/news/roma-c-e-pure-el-shaarawy-nel-mirino-di-sarri-48136) state that Roma could sell the player for as little as €25 million this summer.

El Shaarawy is a player that was often linked with moves to Napoli during Maurizio Sarri’s time there.

The incoming Chelsea boss is a known admirer of the Italian and is said to have shortlisted him as a transfer target this summer.

At the age of 25, El Shaarawy has never managed to fulfil his potential, with a lot expected of him from a young age at Milan.

He impressed last season under Eusebio Di Francesco, scoring seven times in 25 league starts.

The Italian international put in a glittering performance against Chelsea in the Champions League.

He scored twice in Rome to help his side to a 3-0 victory during the group stages of the competition last season.
