Arsenal are poised to make a summer move for AC Milan star Stephan El Shaarawy.
The Italy international had offers in January and his agent admits he is likely to move on in the summer - if the club are keen to sell.
The 22-year-old, however, will not be moving to another Italian team despite links to former club Genoa.
Arsenal and Liverpool are reportedly keen on El Shaarawy.
"I've had some requests from abroad, even in January. But Stephan is at home with Milan and doesn't feel the need to leave," El Shaarawy's agent Manuel El Shaarawy told MilanNews.
"He has a good relationship with the fans, the club and his teammates.
"We'll see what happens in the summer though, it depends on whether the coach [Inzaghi] will stay, if there will be changes at boardroom level and especially what the club plans to do on the transfer market.
"If Milan were to tell us that Stephan needs to go elsewhere then we'd sit round the table and talk about it."
He added: "I can rule out a move within Italy this summer. There have also been rumours about Udinese and Torino in January, as well as the Rossoblu. All can be excluded as options.
"Stephan will not go to another Italian team."
