Neymar Ballon d'Or claim made after Luis Suarez and Lionel Messi transfer intervention

Neymar's Barcelona team-mates Luis Suarez and Lionel Messi told the Brazilian to join Manchester City over Paris Saint-Germain if and when he decided to leave Camp Nou.

That's according to Uruguayan striker Suarez, who spent three seasons with his fellow South American at Barca. Neymar joined the Catalan club in 2013, a year before Suarez arrived from Liverpool, and left for PSG in a world-record move in 2017 after tentative links to City early in Pep Guardiola's reign.

The famed 'MSN' front-line of Messi, Suarez and Neymar won the Champions League in 2015 under Luis Enrique, with Neymar scoring the clincher in a 3-1 victory over Juventus. The next two seasons brought quarter-final eliminations, though, and neither Neymar nor Barcelona have won the competition since his exit.
