Francesco Totti, the living legend of AS Roma, is on the verge of a triumphant return to the Stadio Olimpico, and fans couldn’t be more excited about the prospect of seeing their idol back in action, even if in a behind-the-scenes role. Discussions regarding his reintegration into the club’s structure have gained momentum, and the big question that remains is: how much will it cost the Giallorossi to bring Totti back?
In recent days, several Italian sources have reported that Roma is in talks about Totti’s return, and Claudio Ranieri, the club’s senior advisor, confirmed these discussions. “I know the Friedkin family is thinking about it, I hope Francesco can really be useful to Roma because he is part of Roma,” Ranieri stated, emphasizing Totti’s importance in the club’s history.
With an impressive record of 785 games and 307 goals, Totti is undoubtedly the most iconic figure in Roma’s history. After 25 years dedicated to the first team, the former captain hung up his boots in 2017 and quickly took on a behind-the-scenes role, but his experience was short-lived, resigning in 2019 due to disagreements with former owner James Pallotta. Totti claimed he was often excluded from club decisions and made it clear that he would only return under new management.
With the arrival of the Friedkins, the situation is now different and, recently, Totti was seen at the Stadio Olimpico for the first time in years, a gesture that, according to reports, was made at the invitation of Ryan Friedkin. This reunion could be the harbinger of an official return.
But how much will Totti earn upon returning to Roma? If his return materializes, he is expected to receive an annual salary of around 1 million euros, according to reports from Calcio e Finanza. However, the most crucial aspect for Totti is the role he will assume. There are rumors that he could be appointed as technical director, a position that would place him directly at the forefront of transfer decisions and negotiations, thereby strengthening the relationship with the head coach and players of the first team.
Meanwhile, recent sources indicate that Totti may be more inclined to accept a position as a consultant, advisor, or ambassador, as long as it leads to a decision-making role in the short term. Expectations are high, and with Totti on board, Roma could be preparing for a new era of success, both on and off the pitch. The passion for Roma remains alive, and the city is eagerly awaiting news from its champion.
