Roma Legend Hits Back At Ex Inter Milan President: “Didn’t Like What He Said” | OneFootball

Roma icon Francesco Totti replied to Massimo Moratti after the ex-Inter Milan president declared he refused to sign him back in the day.

Speaking to Viva El Futbol via FCInterNews, Totti shed light on the matter, admitting he never considered leaving the Stadio Olimpico.

Totti’s loyalty was never a subject of debate.

However, former Roma president Franco Sensi had to deal with substantial financial problems during his tenure.

Therefore, offloading Totti – the club’s most prized asset at the time – was a reluctant option for the Giallorossi.

During his recent interview with Corriere della Sera, Massimo Moratti stated he had a chance to sign the Roma legend.

Moratti claimed that Sensi offered him Totti in tears, but he rejected the proposal out of respect for the capital-based club.

However, Moratti’s statement didn’t sit well with Il Pupone as he opened up on the situation.

“Berlusconi wanted me at Milan? Let’s also say Moratti,” Totti said. “He is a gentleman, one of the greatest in football.

“But I didn’t really like his statements against the Sensi family.

“Sensi never wanted to sell me, he wouldn’t hear of it: he was always adamant.

“So, if anything, it was the opposite – Moratti and Inter wanted me at all costs, but Sensi always said no to them.

“It was important to clarify this,” Totti concluded.

Francesco Totti spent his entire playing career at Roma, cementing his status as one of the club’s all-time greats.

However, he was also one of Europe’s most in-demand forwards.

Despite generating interest from many top clubs, he never turned his back on the Giallorossi.

Joining Inter would’ve likely been a wise decision, considering he only won one Scudetto with Roma.
