Want to stay at Barcelona, Messi deserves Ballon d’Or: Neymar

“For everything he’s done, Leo deserves it”, Neymar told Mundo Deportivo.

United chief Louis van Gaal was understood to be willing to meet the former Santos star’s jaw-dropping £138m release clause but had his hopes of landing the 23-year-old dashed as the striker revealed he has no intention of leaving Span.

The player has admitted “conversations” to discuss a deal (per the Guardian), but now claims he wants to extend his contract at Camp Nou. United signed Anthony Martial from Monaco instead on deadline day but later last month Neymar reignited the speculations after confirming the approach from the Premier League giants.

2015 Ballon d’Or is around the corner and Leo Messi, is a main contender for the prestigious award according to his teammate, Neymar.

Without any hint of irony, Luis Suarez has said that his Barcelona team do not have the same “bite” as last season.

Barcelona star Luis Suarez believes it is now harder than ever to win the Liga title. “I changed my game and my life, both for the better since arrived to the club”.

Messi is now sidelined with an injury, and with Barcelona losing two of their last three La Liga games, a depleted squad seem to be feeling the effects of not having their talisman in situ.

“My adaptation to the team has come quite easily”.

The difficulty of playing without Messi has also been shown by Argentina picking up just one point and scoring zero goals in their opening 2018 World Cup qualifiers against Ecuador and Paraguay this week.

“We have to do more than we have been to beat our opponents”, he said.

Most of us struggle to purchase gifts at the best of times – so just imagine if you’re buying them for Lionel Messi.
