Italian Media Says Francesco Totti Will Anchor To Como

JAKARTA - Francesco Totti has shocked the Italian football world after expressing his desire to play in one of the Serie A clubs this season.

One of the Italian mass media, La Repubblica, said Como would be a lucrative option for the 48-year-old player.

Totti said twice last week that he would consider returning from retirement and that he had received calls from Serie A clubs.

According to La Repubblica, Cesc Fabregas' Como was one of the teams to contact Totti, offering him the club until the end of the season.

While at Il Messaggero, Totti expressed his seriousness in returning to play.

"You know everything is better than me. I'm serious," said Totti.

Francesco Totti retired in 2017 after spending his entire playing career in AS Roma.

After hanging up his boots, he became Roma director but stayed at the club for only two years. He left in 2019 because of a different view from the club owner.

Totti has won the 2006 World Cup with the Italian national team and the Serie A 2000-2001 title with Roma.
