Alessandro Florenzi is delighted with his new deal at AS Roma.

The midfielder penned terms to 2019 on the weekend.

"We both took a step forward to get the renewal done, as I wanted it so badly," he told Sky Sport Italia.

"I grew up watching Totti on television, so it still doesn't seem quite real to me that I'm playing alongside him. I can only say he's a special person, both on and off the field."
