AC Milan attacker Stephan El Shaarawy is in the dark over Koln's reported interest, the player's agent has said.
Italian sources claimed on Monday that the Bundesliga side were interested in signing the 19-year-old on a loan deal that could last for up to 18 months.
El Shaarawy, who signed for Milan in the summer, has found playing opportunities very hard to come by at San Siro, with the likely arrival of a new striker in January expected to push the Italy Under-21 international further down the pecking order.
However, El Shaarawy's agent Roberto La Florio believes his client still has a future at Milan, telling Goal.com Italia: "I prefer not to say anything about the boy, because he is in a very difficult moment and he is under a lot of pressure.
"I would like simply point out the remarks from [Milan CEO Adriano] Galliani and [coach Massimiliano] Allegri, who have said that El Shaarawy will not leave.
"If there are clubs interested in him who have spoken with Milan, that I cannot know."
