Mirko Vucinic , born October 1, 1983 in Niksic, Montenegro, SFR Yugoslavia) is a Montenegrin footballer forward currently playing in the Italian Serie A for AS Roma.
      Having been signed at a young age, Vucinic showed remarkable promise early and was quickly snatched by the often struggling U.S. Lecce. In his third (2004-2005) season for the club, the 21 year-old Vucinic shelled out 19 goals in 29 games and silenced all doubters of his abilities as a forward player. Following that extraordinarily successful season, his progress came to a halt with only 9 goals recorded in 31 games.
      On 30 August 2006, he signed a 1+4 years contract with AS Roma, which was structured so that his first season in Rome is a loan deal worth €3.5m with an option of buying him entirely from Lecce once the season finishes for an additional €7.5m. On 28 January 2007, he scored his first goal for AS Roma in the 1-0 victory against Siena, while on 4 April 2007 he scored his first goal in UEFA Champions League in the quarter-finals match won 2-1 against Manchester United.
      Despite a modest scoring output during his loan season in Rome, especially compared to his previous form at Lecce, AS Roma is reportedly interested in bringing him permanently.
