Real Madrid and Roma will play in the same group in the Champions League, so in the European media, the story of 12 years ago was re-launched, when Francesco Totti rejected the transfer offer from the "Kings".

The legendary Italian football player is now in the role of a director in Roma, but he shares interesting new details about Real's offer to him in 2006. Roma accepted the offer from the Spaniards and everyone was surprised when the player simply said "no".

"Well, well, it's an old story that Real has repeatedly tried to lead me into his ranks. It's true, and it's also true that I've rejected bids every time. I remember the last time I played against Real Madrid at Santiago Bernabeu a few years ago, Florentino Perez came to me. He asked me for a jersey and wanted to write a special dedication, "the only footballer who rejected Real," tells Totti.

His entire career went to the Roma jersey for which he debuted in 1993 and played for 24 seasons for this team. He played a total of 785 games and scored 307 goals.
