Victor Eletu: Nigeria midfielder linked with Pescara move from Milan Futuro

Nigeria midfielder Victor Eletu, currently with Milan Futuro, has been linked with a move to Pescara.

The 21-year-old defensive midfielder is reportedly being considered by the Serie C club, while Milan Futuro compete in Serie D. Eletu remains under contract with Milan Futuro until 30 June 2027.

Eletu joined Milan Futuro from Milan’s Under-20 side on 6 August 2025, having spent several years in the club’s youth system. He made 28 appearances in Serie D during the season, scoring twice and providing three assists.

The Lagos-born player has also made two appearances in Serie C and has featured extensively in youth football, including 89 Primavera 1 matches in which he recorded six goals and 11 assists. He is left-footed and can operate in the defensive midfield role.

Pescara’s interest would represent a potential move from Serie D to Serie C for Eletu, whose current market value is listed at €300,000. No transfer fee or agreement has been reported, and the rumour remains unconfirmed.

Eletu’s contractual position means Milan Futuro would not be facing an imminent free transfer, with the Nigeria international’s deal running for almost another year beyond the current reporting date.
