Stephan El Shaarawy is experiencing a clear decline in his role with AS Roma this season, as his total playing time has not exceeded 591 minutes across 18 matches in various competitions, a clear indicator of his gradual exclusion from the coach's plans.

As the player born in 1992 advances in age, it seems he is not part of coach Gian Piero Gasperini's project, being classified among the surplus players, amid the club's move to make changes to the squad and make room for new signings.

According to the newspaper "Il Corriere dello Sport," discussions are taking place within the club's corridors regarding the possibility of terminating the contract of the Italian player of Egyptian origin, which expires next June, this winter.

If this step is taken, the player will be able to reach an agreement with interested clubs, primarily Genoa led by Daniele De Rossi, without the need to pay any financial compensation, while Roma will benefit from offloading the player's salary as part of its plan to restructure the team.
