MILAN (Reuters) - AS Roma's home game with lowly Genoa on Sunday will bring the curtain down on Francesco Totti's 25 years at the club but, after several months of intrigue, it is not known if the talismanic playmaker will retire altogether.

Second-placed Roma had made it clear they would not offer the 40-year-old Totti another contract but he refused to play ball until Thursday, when he finally announced it would be his last game for them.
