Stephan El Shaarawy is reportedly close to joining AS Monaco after he was pictured saying his goodbyes at AC Milan's training base.
The 22-year-old is widely expected to join Ligue 1 side AS Monaco, initially on a season-long loan.
AC Milan's official TV channel showed images of El Shaarawy saying farewell to colleagues at the Rossoneri's training ground.
Sky Sport Italia reporter Gianluca di Marzio has tweeted the supposed details of the deal that will see the striker move to the Principality.

Di Marzio claims that Monaco will be obliged to buy the player once he racks up 15 appearances for the club, for a fee thought to be around €15m (£10.8m).
