ROME (AP) - AS Roma captain Francesco Totti says he will sign a new five-year contract to stay with the Serie A club and is not ruling out a return to Italy's national team after recovering from a knee injury.
Roma's captain has spent his entire career with his hometown Serie A club, which finished sixth in the league last season. He is Roma's all-time top scorer with 178 goals.
Totti told reporters Sunday that he will sign a contract that runs until 2014 when he returns from a preseason training camp in northern Italy. He will also look at a possible international return if he remains fit next season.
