The 32-year-old winger, known for his explosive pace and technical flair, will join the Premier League side this summer as part of Unai Emery’s push to add depth and experience to Villa’s attacking options. The deal includes an option to buy at the end of the loan period, though financial details remain undisclosed.
El Shaarawy, who rejoined Roma in 2021 after a brief stint in China, has made over 250 appearances for the Giallorossi across two spells, scoring 58 goals. Despite reduced playing time in recent months, he remains a fan favorite and a seasoned international with 29 caps for Italy.
Speaking about the move, Aston Villa manager Unai Emery said:
“Stephan brings quality and experience at the highest level. He’s a player who can change games, and we’re excited to have him join our project as we continue to grow.”
The Italian is expected to join Villa for preseason training in July, where he will wear the number 92 shirt.
Is there a specific angle or tone you’d like the news to take—more formal, fan-oriented, or sensational?
