Fenerbahçe reportedly want Totti in their front office; club denies report

Roma are among the clubs most interested in Club Brugge winger Carlos Forbs, according to the Belgian outlet Voetbalnieuws, as sporting director D'Amico looks to add an attacking winger for Gian Piero Gasperini in January. Before Roma's match against Sassuolo, D'Amico admitted he wanted to give Gasperini an attacking winger in the January window and had already started looking for the right profile. Alongside Bynoe-Gittens and Endrick, whose names were already known, Forbs has emerged as a serious target. The Portuguese winger is ready for the next step in his career, and his departure from Club Brugge in the summer is described as practically certain. A move in January is more complicated, but D'Amico could still open talks early to get ahead of the competition. Manchester United, Arsenal, Tottenham and Fiorentina are also tracking the 2004-born player. This season, Forbs has scored 5 goals and provided 8 assists in 14 appearances across the league and the Champions League.

Francesco Totti and Luciano Spalletti have reunited on set to film a new advert for Amaro Montenegro, which began airing on television yesterday. This time the shoot took place at the estate of the Juventus coach in the hills of Montaione, Tuscany. Totti, Roma's former captain, was also invited to dinner by Spalletti, his former manager at Roma, after years of frost between the two men that have since given way to a friendly relationship. The pair have worked together on earlier spots for the brand, and the advert marks another step in a rapport that has been rebuilt over time. Totti's return to the Roma orbit, and his ties with a coach who once led the club, continue to keep the former captain's connection with the Giallorossi in the public eye. Totti said: "Di spot in spot direi che ci stiamo ritrovando. Mi sono divertito, e ho notato che al mister piace ancora vedermi faticare." ("From spot to spot, I'd say we're getting back together. I enjoyed myself, and I've noticed the boss still likes seeing me work hard.") Spalletti added in a statement: "Per girare lo spot ho invitato Francesco a casa mia; un'occasione in più per riparlare delle nostre storie, di calcio e soprattutto di vita vera. È stato bello ritrovarsi non solo sul set ma anche a tavola insieme a tanti amici." ("To film the spot I invited Francesco to my home; an extra chance to talk again about our stories, about football and above all about real life. It was lovely to meet up not only on set but also at the table together with many friends.")

Turkish newspaper Sozcu reported that Francesco Totti had taken a consultancy role in the sporting area at Fenerbahce, claiming he had met the club's president in Istanbul the previous day to discuss the details. Fenerbahce have firmly rejected the story, and the claims are not true, according to the club's official statement. According to the club's account, Totti is currently in Kuwait, and a stop in Istanbul was only a stopover during his journey. There was no meeting with the president and no agreement with Fenerbahce. The club issued a harsh official statement calling the report completely without foundation, and it criticised the media outlets that spread the reports without first verifying them. The Sozcu story was headlined "The football mind of Fenerbahce" and was subsequently picked up by other news organisations citing the same newspaper. Fenerbahce's statement, published on 9 November 2026, asked those outlets to act in line with journalistic principles and a sense of responsibility. Totti spent his entire playing career at Roma, from 1992 to 2017, scoring 307 goals, and his number 10 shirt has been retired by the club.
