About

Elevenelite Srl is a Milan-based football agency, founded by Letterio Pino, specialising in career management for professional players from Serie A down to Primavera and emerging markets such as Romania and Turkey. The company was founded in late 2021 and quickly obtained FIGC sports-agent authorisation, positioning itself as a boutique agency handling both domestic and cross-border transfers.

Building on Italian regulatory expertise and strong club relationships, ElevenElite focuses on long-term career planning, combining traditional scouting with structured contract, legal and image-rights support. Its portfolio ranges from high-profile names like Mauro Icardi to U21 internationals in Romania and Greece, plus promising youth at major academies such as Genoa and Juventus.

Approach & Philosophy

ElevenElite presents itself as a “careers management” and “sport consulting” company with a family-style culture, emphasising long-term planning over short-term trading. The agency’s Italian corporate object details a full-cycle mandate model – from first professional contract through renewals, sponsorships and post-career planning – and its social content repeatedly references loyalty and continuity with clients.

On the football side, the presence of a dedicated scouting director and international scout network reflects a strong focus on early identification of undervalued talent in Italy, the Balkans and Eastern Europe, with an eye to placing them in Serie A or strong European leagues. Negotiation-wise, the agency leans on Italian legal and regulatory know-how, frequently combining club-friendly structures (loans with options, performance-linked deals) with player-favourable contract horizons in the four-to-five-year range.


Fees & Transparency

Public sources do not disclose ElevenElite’s specific commission schedules. As a FIGC-licensed agency, its fee structures are expected to align with FIFA and FIGC caps on service commissions.

The firm’s object clause and affiliation with industry body AIACS–Assoagenti suggest a compliance-focused approach, with formal mandates and a clear separation of services for players versus clubs. However, there is no detailed public information on:

  • Exact commission percentages by deal type.

  • Policies on dual representation in a single transaction.

  • Expense reimbursement and whether scouting or marketing costs are re-charged.

Prospective clients would therefore need to clarify these points directly in mandate negotiations.


Compliance & Reputation

  • Disciplinary actions / sanctions:

    • No widely reported disciplinary sanctions or FIGC/FIFA bans involving ElevenElite or Letterio Pino were identified in mainstream Italian or international football media as of November 2025.

  • Litigation / disputes:

    • No major public litigation related to player-agent disputes or contractual conflicts involving ElevenElite surfaced in open-source research. Minor private disputes, if any, are not publicly documented.

  • Media sentiment:

    • Overall positive to neutral. Coverage typically references the agency in the context of successful transfers (Icardi, Sava) or youth-development stories rather than controversy, with agent profiles and social-media coverage highlighting professionalism and growing influence, particularly in Romania and youth markets.


Awards/recognition

  • Signalling a recognised and growing footprint in the European transfer market.

  • Regularly referenced by Italian transfer insiders and media in the context of Serie A and high-value SuperLiga deals, underlining its emerging status among mid-sized agencies.
