Born in Savona to an Egyptian father and an Italian mother, El Shaarawy joined regional Serie A club Genoa at the age of thirteen.
On 21 December 2008, when he was 16 years and 55 days old, he made his first team debut, playing ten minutes in a Serie A away match against Chievo, becoming the fourth youngest player in the history of Serie A. It was his only appearance of the season despite making the bench many times.
In June 2010 he was loaned out to Padova for the 2010–11 Serie B season In his loan period at Padova, he quickly emerged as a key element for the team, leading the Venetian club to the promotion playoff finals where they then lost to Novara.
On 25 June 2011, El Shaarawy signed for Serie A giants Milan.
On the 18th September 2011, Stephan made his debut with Milan at the Stadio San Paolo in a 3-1 loss to Napoli in Serie A. Three days later, after coming on as a substitute for the injured Alexandre Pato, he scored his first goal for the club, earning his team a 1-1 draw at home against Udinese. In his first six months at Milan, he made a total of seven appearances (only 175 minutes of playing time) leading to reports in the media that he may be loaned out for more playing time to help his progression. However a decision was made between Galliani (the director of Milan), Allegri (the current coach) and himself to stay at the club for the near future. It was then that his performances for Milan began to improve and have led him to becoming one of the most highly rated youngsters in Italy.
El Shaarawy provided an assist for Robinho in a 3–0 win against Cesena in the Serie A on the 23rd of January, 2012 which was his first assist in Rossoneri colours. On 8 February 2012, El Shaarawy scored in a 1-2 loss against Juventus in the first leg of the 2011-12 Italian Cup semi-finals. Three days later, he scored an immensely vital winner against Udinese. It was Udinese's first home loss of the season and turned Milan's poor form around.
On 25 July 2012, El Shaarawy signed a contract extension, which will keep him with the Rossoneri until 2017.

GAYA RAMBUT SHARAAWY DIPROTES
Anak muda memang selalu ingin tampil bergaya. Seperti Mario Balotelli yang punya gaya rambutnya sendiri, begitu pula halnya dengan pemain muda Stephan El Shaarawy dengan gaya rambutnya.
Tapi siapa sangka gaya rambut Shaarawy mendapat protes dari para pemain senior di mana ia membela klub AC Milan di musim pertamanya.
Dalam sebuah wawancara dengan Milan Channel di Acmilan.com (4/9), Stephan El Shaarawy mengakui hal itu. Pemain berusia 19 tahun ini membocorokan segala pengalaman pertamanya ketika membela Milan di musim 2011/2012.
"Beberapa pemain senior tidak menyukai gaya rambut saya dan mereka meminta (pemain senior) untuk memotong rambut saat pertama kali tiba di markas latihan Milan di Milanello," ujar Shaarawy tanpa mau menyebut siapa pemain senior yang dimaksud.
Tapi, El Shaarawy pun dibela oleh salah seorang pemain Milan yang cukup senior. "Mereka mengatakan Marek Hamsik dan Djibril Cisse (saat itu Lazio) boleh-boleh saja menggunakan gaya rambut mowhak, kenapa dengan Stephan El Shaarawy tidak boleh," ungkap El Shaarawy menirukan pemain senior Milan tersebut.
Selain soal gaya rambut yang dibocorkan Stephan El Shaarawy, ia juga mengungkapkan bahwa ia tidak cocok bermain dengan Ibrahimovic.
Di Akhir musim, memang sempat terjadi sedikit perselisihan dan perbedaan pendapat di antara pemain senior Milan saat itu. Hal ini yang diduga membuat Milan melepas beberapa pemain senior seperti Clarence Seedorf, Gennaro Gattuso, hingga Alessandro Nesta.
Tapi, hingga kini El Shaarawy masih tetap menggunakan gaya rambut mowhawknya di AC Milan.
