Transfer: AC Milan’s deal for Nigerian midfielder, Eletu confirmed

AC Milan have announced the deal for Nigeria U20 international, Victor Eletu.

The player agreed a contract extension with the Italian side ahead of the 2025-26 season.

He will now remain at the club until at least 2027 as his new deal includes a two-year extension with an option for a third year.

Despite string of injuries, the 20-year-old remains a highly rated prospect within the Milan setup.

According to Italian transfer expert, Gianluca Di Marzio, AC Milan see the Nigerian as a key piece in their long-term plans.

Eletu was a standout performer for Milan’s Primavera side before injuries curtailed his momentum.

He will now look to rediscover that form as he joins the U23 squad for pre-season preparations.

The midfielder will hope to reestablish himself as one of Milan’s most promising young stars in the upcoming campaign.

Eletu was included two in AC Milan squad for matches in Europa League and one in the Serie A, but was unused.
