‘Off to China’ | Totti signs two-year sponsorship deal

Francesco Totti’s post on social media left fans wondering if he was returning to play in China, but Il Corriere dello Sport reveals the former Roma captain has signed a sponsorship deal in Asia.

The Giallorossi legend posted a photo on Instagram, wearing a blue football kit and holding a ball in his hand.

Many asked if Totti was returning to play, as he re-posted a puzzling message from an agency: “China believed in you! I’m proud to have helped you sign this two-year deal… Let’s go!”

But the veteran is not returning to the pitch, in reality we are talking about a sponsorship deal.

Il Corriere dello Sport reports the World Cup winner might be back on the pitch for a few exhibition games, but it won’t be a real return to football.
