Please, please, please, let this be true.
Francesco Totti is bring forced out of a club he has spent his whole life at this summer, and it’s just not fair.
The Italian god of football is almost 40, and his time with Roma is likely to be brought to an end in a matter of weeks, after 24 years in the Italian capital.
However, anyone who saw his miracle heroics this week for the Serie A giants can testify that he definitely is still well able for magical cameo appearances.
It’s likely he may head to America to finish his career for a fat wallet full of American dollars in the MLS, but perhaps some heavy English pounds may also be tempting.
Leicester City famously signed Roberto Mancini at the tail end of his carrier in the mid-1990s, and The Sun today suggest that Claudio Ranieri is hoping to pull off a similar trick over 15 years later.
The newspaper is suggesting the former Inter Milan boss is confident that Totti would add European experience to his squad next season as they prepare for life in the Champions League.
New York Cosmos lead the race for the signature of the Serie A legend, but the newspaper reports Ranieri has personally contacted the forward to convince him to give life in the English midlands a try.
Ranieri managed Totti in his brief two-year spell at Roma, and the two are known to be close.
And surely the prospect of us teaching Jamie Vardy the Italian for “Chat shit, get banged” would be worth it alone.
