Francesco Totti is due to sign a new Roma contract, playing for one more season before six years as a director.
According to multiple reports, the club hierarchy has agreed to keep Er Pupone on for one more year, despite the fact he turns 40 in September.
The captain’s recent glut of Serie A goals confirmed he’s still got what it takes at this level, albeit as a supersub off the bench.

The captain’s recent glut of Serie A goals confirmed he’s still got what it takes at this level, albeit as a supersub off the bench.
The Corriere dello Sport claims the playing contract is worth just over €1m, but already includes another six-year deal ensuring his future at Trigoria after June 2017.
President James Pallotta is expected to fly in from Boston for the announcement at the end of the season.
There are some changes in the club-player rapport, specifically when it comes to image rights.
It’s suggested Roma want to take over Totti’s image rights for a series of initiatives to mark his long career.
Meanwhile, if he takes to the field against Chievo on Sunday, it will be Totti’s 600th Serie A match in a Roma jersey.
He made his debut in Roma’s 2-0 victory away to Brescia on March 28, 1993.
