Totti's committed to Roma
Roma captain Francesco Totti has confirmed his intentions to extend his deal with the Giallorossi until 2014.
His current contract with the club expires in 2011 but he has stated that he will continue to play until he is 38 before considering retirement and taking on a management role.
"My contract expires in 2011 but I intend to ask for a renewal for another two or three years," Totti said.
"My contract expires in 2011 but I intend to ask for a renewal for another two or three years," Totti said.
"I feel good, I still enjoy myself, I can continue for a long time. Why quit so early?
"As long as my body and physical condition will sustain me, I will keep playing.
"Then, when I quit I will have to see. I'll remain in football as an official but not as a coach, it's not part of my DNA."

Donadoni may call Totti
Roberto Donadoni says he is considering calling Francesco Totti up for Italy's European qualifier in March.
The Roma forward took a break from playing for Italy after their triumphant World Cup campaign.
Totti, who had metal plates inserted in an ankle injury, had previously insisted he would only return to the national team when he was ready.
But the Italy coach says if Totti continues to produce the sparkling form for the Giallorossi it would be impossible for him to ignore him for the national side.
"Should he continue with these sparkling performances it would be unavoidable for me not to call him," Donadoni told Italia 1.
"If he decides not to come well that is his decision."
Donadoni also said Antonio Cassano's absence from the Real Madrid side would make it difficult for him to be considered for the game against Scotland on 28th March.

Totti unsure of Italy return
Roma star Francesco Totti has admitted he remains unsure if he will make a return for Italy.
Totti has not featured for his country since the World Cup final success over France asking not to be considered for selection since the finals.
Italy coach Roberto Donadoni is keen to have the forward available as the Azzurri have made a stuttering start to the Euro 2008 qualifying campaign.
However, Totti is refusing to make any decision on when he might return to the national team and has hinted he may never play for his country again.
"The supporters are asking when I will return to the Nazionale, but I first have to decide if I will return," said Totti
"There hasn't been anything between me and coach Roberto Donadoni.
"Things are clear and we will speak again at the end of the season. However, the final in Berlin might have been my last match with Italy."
