Francesco Totti hopes for a "special season" this term at Roma.

Totti will hang up his boots at the end of the current campaign.

“25 years full of victories, defeats, goals, joy and disappointments," Totti began on his official website.

“I've experienced so many emotions in these years that it's really difficult to do a ranking of the most intense. What's certain is that my desire to wear this shirt and to give and experience emotions is still in tact.

“As if no time had passed at all, I will face this 25th season with determination and desire, certain that this squad will give their best to give our fans the satisfaction they deserve.

“Over these years I've always strongly felt the affection, love and passion of this city, the Roma fans and also those who have supported me in Italy and abroad. Real feelings which helped me feel even prouder of these colours which I have the honour of wearing.

“My 25th professional season in the Roma shirt will coincide with an important milestone in my life: 40-years-old in a little over a month.

“I wait for important challenges and new prospects, ready to share them with those who have always loved and supported me.

“I want it to be a special season, for me and for the fans, both on and off the pitch."
