| Totti set for contract talks |

Roma have scheduled a second meeting to talk through a new deal for Francesco Totti, according to La Gazzetta dello Sport.
The 32-year-old is out of contract at the end of next season and will be a free agent in exactly 366 days time.
By extension, Totti will be able to sign for another club in six months.
It's obvious that such an eventuality would never happen, but contract talks are progressing slowly.
Totti wanted a new deal sewn up before training camp begins on Thursday, but he now might have to wait until the start of the season.
The problem lies with the Sensi family, who are in the process of selling the club.
Until the ownership of Roma is settled, all transfers and contract talks are seemingly on hold.
Totti apparently understands the situation and is willing to take a 15 per cent cut in his annual salary.
Under the new deal, Totti would see his salary drop from £5m to £4.25m.
He still wants a five-year contract, which will see him retire at the age of 36.
Totti is also aware that he might not play out his entire contract, so his new deal will possibly include an option, allowing him to become a director.
