One of the main transfer sagas of the 2000s was the potential transfer of Totti to Real Madrid. Francesco was offered $8 million a season, and the ambitious Madrid club aimed to win all trophies.
Meanwhile, Roma began to slowly decline, with four coaches being sacked in just one year. However, in the summer of 2005, Spalletti took over as coach and moved Totti closer to the attack, creating the most comfortable conditions for him. In the end, Francesco chose his hometown club over the desire for money and trophies.
