Francesco Totti's new contract is expected to be announced today, but Roma won't agree to his terms.
President James Pallotta will reportedly speak out after this evening's game with Genoa, letting the fans know that their captain will stay with them for another season.
Behind the scenes, however, it is reported that the process is not going very smoothly.
Apparently Totti and Pallotta can't agree on the new salary. The #10 currently earns €3.5m per season, and would like to stay at around €3m, while the President is only willing to offer €1m.
Negotiations are also ongoing with regards to Totti's image rights, which are mostly in the hands of the club. The 39-year-old is looking to take them back, which goes against the club's wishes as the Ex Pupone provides substantial merchandising value.
As the championship draws to a close, a compromise will have to be reached quickly.
