"You're getting old... I've heard that you're training to become a coach... I'm playing two more years, so if you want me to play (for you), I'm coming," Totti said on Monday.

Totti made his Serie A debut in 1992 and became Roma captain in 1998.

He has played 592 games in Italy's top flight, third on the all-time list behind AC Milan's Paolo Maldini (647) and Inter's Javier Zanetti (615).

Totti returned to action in Roma's 1-1 draw against AC Milan on Saturday following a thigh injury that had kept him out of the team since late September.
