Lionel Messi admits seeing former Barcelona teammate Neymar at Real Madrid would be “terrible”

Lionel Messi has admitted he fears to see Neymar in a Real Madrid shirt.

The Brazilian star has been linked with a move to the Bernabeu in a £230million summer switch.

Neymar only left Barcelona for the French capital last summer but is unsettled in Paris.

And in an interview with TyC, Messi said: “Seeing Neymar at Real Madrid would be terrible.

“It would be a terrible blow for Barcelona.”

Messi was speaking after Barcelona were beaten for the first time in the league on Sunday.

Levante stunned the La Liga champions 5-4 in the penultimate game of the season.

Messi also hailed his relationship with teammate Luis Suarez.

He added: ‘The relationship I have with Suarez outside the field improved our feeling on the field.

“He is a serious person, very familiar. Much love and we made a nice friendship.”
