Francesco Totti says two Serie A clubs—Genoa and Como—approached him about joining them after his retirement. The Italy and Roma legend, now 48, says the interest came years after he stopped playing, according to reports.
Both outlets add that the renewed calls for him occur around 2024, with Genoa and Como attempting to sign him at that time. While the coverage focuses on who pursued him, neither source presents details on a formal contract or whether talks progressed to a deal. The reports also frame the revelation as part of Totti looking back on his post-retirement career and the continuing attention his name receives in Italian football.
Overall, the accounts align on the clubs involved (Genoa and Como) and the general timing (years after Totti retired, with 2024 identified as when the attempts were made), with differences limited to wording and the surrounding context provided by each outlet.
