AC Milan GM Adriano Galliani has ruled out Stephane El Shaarawy playing for them this season.

El Shaarawy has seen his loan with AS Monaco cut short, but Galliani has ruled out a return.

“El Shaarawy cannot return to Milan," Galliani told Milan News. A move to Roma is hanging in the balance, depending on whether the Giallorossi sell Gervinho.

“He either stays at Monaco or finds another club. With Luiz Adriano here too, there are too many players."
