The club, however, want to further intertwine Eletu's future with theirs, as they plan to extend the contract duration when the player turns 18.

Eletu turns 18 on the first of April, making it only a matter of months before AC Milan can tie him up in a new, bigger deal.

Monaco interested in Eletu

Eletu's talent is not a well-kept secret, and many in Europe are keeping tabs on the player. 

Monaco are one of those clubs and have even sent a scout to watch Eletu in the Derby Primavera, a U-19 match between Inter Milan and AC Milan. Inter Milan beat AC Milan in the game, but Eletu shone, and the scout was reported to have been impressed.
