Western Sydney Wanderers goalkeeping coach Zeljko Kalac has told Ominsport he believes Roma legend Francesco Totti would find it tough to play in the A-League.
Totti brought an end to his 25-year career with Roma at the end of the season.
The 40-year-old has since been linked with North American Soccer League side Miami FC, coached by his friend Alessandro Nesta, while J-League second division side Tokyo Verdy have made an offer.
Asked about the possibility of Totti coming to Sydney, Kalac said: "He is a great player. He was a great player.
"I think we all saw what Alessandro Del Piero was like in his second year in Sydney. It's a hard league. It's a running league. He has a massive amount of quality, but his legs won't take him far.
"The kind of figures these guys are asking for, it's difficult to satisfy their needs as well."
The Wanderers have foreign spots available after Dimas, Nicolas Martinez and Bruno Pinatares left the club, but Kalac said: "What's a marquee player? A marquee player is someone who makes a difference to your team.
"If we want marquee player as in a name to put bums on seats, that's a different proposition.
"It depends on what way you look at it. It's not easy because even normal visa players and bringing them to Australia, they almost fall under the bracket of marquee players.
"They are very, very difficult to get. Compared to what they get in Europe, to bring them here is difficult and the clubs struggle to bring them here."
However, despite clubs having been linked with Totti the 40-year-old could yet opt to retire and has been offered a director's role by Roma.
