It is reported that Fenerbahçe has identified Atalanta's Nikola Krstović, 25, as an alternative target for the striker position during the winter transfer window. The club will pursue the Montenegrin forward if their attempt to sign their primary target, Alexander Sörloth from Atletico Madrid, is unsuccessful. Domenico Tedesco is said to desire a striker with pivot characteristics. It is also apparent that Krstović's performance has not been considered satisfactory at the Italian club, which he joined in August 2025. The Montenegrin international has 33 caps and 8 goals for his country. He has a contract with Atalanta until 2030. His current market value is €20.00m, according to Transfermarkt.
