The colors on the jersey will remain the same, the country will not change either, but the time is right for a new challenge - at a much higher level.

Nikola Krstović and Roma - according to Italian media, the story is practically over.

The Montenegrin striker said "to the wolves", and according to "Gazzetta del Mezzogiorno", everything has allegedly already been agreed between the club and the Lecce footballer, even the issue of the duration of the contract and salary.

As was clear earlier in the summer, the clubs still have to reach an agreement, with the key moment being the departure of Artyom Dovbik from Roma. The Ukrainian striker is getting closer to the Premier League.

The man who certainly plays a decisive role in the transfer of Krstović is Gianpjero Gasperini, the new coach of Roma.

Media from the Apennines remind us that the experienced expert does not hide his admiration for Lecce's "number nine", and that even earlier, while he was managing Atalanta, he planned for Krstović to be a striker in his team.

"It is precisely because of Gasperini's insistence that Roma seem ready to move on to concrete moves," adds Gazzetta del Mezzogiorno.

By the way, among the clubs that were interested in Krstović's services this summer was Atalanta. Milan, Inter, Napoli and Leeds were also mentioned earlier, and since a few days ago, German club Wolfsburg.

However, all of that interest is falling through the cracks, because it seems Krstović decided a long time ago that his next destination would be the "Olimpico" and the red-and-yellow part of the Eternal City.

If everything goes as expected and our footballer signs for Italy, he will continue his journey like the first Montenegrin captain Mirko Vučinić, who also ended up in Roma from Lecce.
