BARCELONA star Lionel Messi reportedly told Ernesto Valverde to play Luis Suarez regularly - just like the Catalan giants did with Neymar

Suarez has endured a tricky season for Barcelona, scoring just five goals across all competitions so far.




The Uruguay international was on target against Celta Vigo this weekend but was unable to inspire Barcelona to another La Liga win.
Much has been made of his struggles with the Nou Camp outfit supposedly keen on one of Antoine Griezmann or Paulo Dybala to become Suarez’s replacement.
But Spanish website Diario Gol claim Messi sought talks with Valverde over the weekend, and told him that Neymar may be the key to Suarez rediscovering his scoring touch.
Neymar joined PSG from Barcelona in the summer for a world-record £200million.
But the Brazil international was not always at the peak of his powers during his four-year stint in Catalonia.
Barcelona carefully nurtured him during his time at the club, playing him regularly in order to help him realise his potential.
And Diario Gol claim Messi told Valverde his feelings on the matter.
He supposedly wants Valverde to stick with Suarez because he reckons he will reap the rewards further down the line.
