Revealed: What Messi and Suarez told Neymar after the Brazilian told them he wanted to join PSG

Neymar completed the most sensational transfer ever during the summer, joining Paris Saint-Germain from Barcelona for 222million euros.

So far, the Brazilian has been living up with the expectations at Parc des Princes, scoring 11 goals in all competitions.

On the other hand, his absence at Camp Nou isn’t being felt at all, with Ernesto Valverde’s side having registered 10 wins in 11 league matches.

However, Luis Suarez is aware of the talent his side lost when the Brazilian decided to join the Ligue 1 giants.

In an interview for the Spanisht outlet SPORT, the Uruguayan striker revealed what was said during a conversation he had with Neymar and Lionel Messi after the Brazilian told them he wanted to move.

When asked whether Neymar asked himself or Messi for advice, Suarez replied: “More than advice, [Messi and I] tried to do what would benefit the team. But we never said ‘Don’t go because you won’t be happy.’

“We said we didn’t want him to go, but that he was free to do what he wanted. Because of the friendship we have, it was painful that he left.”

Suarez added: “I tried to convince him to stay because I think here’s the best place for him, but it’s a decision he had to take.”
