He added : “I heard from Totti four to five days ago. I am close to both him and Daniele De Rossi. Three or four years ago, I made a decision and I am happy about it, and I thank Sampdoria coach Mihajlovic for giving me this opportunity.”
Stefano Okaka defended the purple and yellow colours of Roma from 2005 - 2012, chalking up 33 Serie A appearances before severing ties with the capital outfit.
