Roma CEO Guido Fienga insists former captain Francesco Totti will always be welcome at the club.

Fienga spoke at Roma's annual shareholders meeting on Monday.

"Totti is certainly one of the most important players in the history of Roma, he continues to be one of our heroes," stated the executive.

"We love him, but he is no longer part of the group and we can't take him into account.

"We respect his choice."
