Stephan El Shaarawy is close to returning to Genoa, the club where he began his career. Multiple outlets report that the former Italy forward is finalising the move nearly 15 years after his earlier connection with the club, marking a homecoming after time elsewhere.
The reports describe his departure from Roma as a key part of the timeline, with El Shaarawy having spent almost a decade at the club before the transfer. While the outlets both frame the move as a return to his formative team, they focus on slightly different ways of describing the chronology—one emphasises the 15-year gap, and the other highlights the “home” angle tied to his development at Genoa. No additional details on transfer terms or contract length are included in the provided summaries.
Across the coverage, the core point is consistent: El Shaarawy is moving back to Genoa following his long spell at Roma.
