AS Roma legend Francesco Totti was in good mood as he joked that he would go to the airport himself and give the number ten shirt to Lionel Messi if he signed for Roma, when he was asked about the possibility of retiring the famous number ten.

He also explained that he was never in favour of the idea of stopping the number ten shirt in his honour.

"I always said no but it is a decision that the club has to take," he stated. "It is a ,dream of a lot of kids and youngsters to have the Roma number ten. I had the same dream and fortunately it came true.

"I would not like to take away the dream of a child but I also know that it is not easy to wear the Roma number nine shirt. "We will see what happens and if we find another Totti, Messi or another we will think about it."

On Messi wearing it he added: "I would go to the airport and put it on hm."
