Nikola Krstovič and his €30 million market value
Former DAC Dunajská Streda striker Nikola Krstovič has reached a market value of €30 million, according to data from Transfermarkt. The 26-year-old Montenegrin forward currently ranks as one of the top scorers in Serie A, having recorded seven goals and two assists in 11 matches this season, Šport.sk reported.
Krstovič’s performance has placed him fourth in the league’s scoring table, trailing leader Gustavo Varela by two goals. This season marks a significant progression for the striker, who scored 10 goals in 33 appearances in his previous season. His valuation has seen a climb since his departure from the Slovak league, where he was initially valued at €2,2 milióna eur.

The transfer of Krstovič from Dunajská Streda to Lecce in August 2023 was valued at €3,9 milióna eur, making it one of the 10 most expensive exits from the Slovak top flight. While the initial fee appeared modest, the deal included a sell-on clause that benefited the Slovak club during his subsequent move to Atalanta Bergamo.
Atalanta acquired the forward for €25 miliónov eur, resulting in a 15% share for Dunajská Streda plus a €500,000 bonus. In total, the club earned €8,1 milióna eur from the player, having originally signed him from Crvena Zvezda Belgrade for €400,000.
Lecce’s sporting director Pantaleo Corvino previously indicated he was prepared to pay between €10 miliónov eur and €12 miliónov eur for the striker, according to Šport.sk. Despite the potential for a higher initial sale, the agreement secured a return for the Žitný ostrov club following his performance in the 2022/2023 season, where he led the league with 18 goals.
