Stephan El Shaarawy’s future at Roma appears increasingly distant.

The winger has slipped in Gasperini’s hierarchy, and his limited playing time confirms his diminished centrality in the club’s technical plan. In this context, a contract extension seems difficult, if not impossible: currently, the player is not part of the club’s strategy for the coming seasons.

Roma is evaluating alternative solutions for the attacking department, while El Shaarawy needs to find a new environment in which he can regain space, consistency, and a more defined role than his current situation.
