Barcelona ace Lionel Messi betrays Luis Suarez by Placing his demand To the board
LIONEL MESSI is so concerned by Luis Suarez’ form for Barcelona he has demanded the club sign Antoine Griezmann next summer.
The La Liga giants were held to a 0-0 draw by Olympiakos in the Champions League last night.
And Spanish outlet Don Balon claim Messi is now concerned Suarez will never return to his best form and Griezmann would be a suitable replacement.
The Uruguay international has failed to hit the heights of last season, netting just three goals in his 13 appearances so far this campaign.
Messi is good friends with Suarez and ideally wants him to stay at the Nou Camp.
But the Argentine is said to be aware he needs to surround himself with the very best players and on current form the ex-Liverpool man is not on his level.
Messi thinks Suarez might have lost his scoring instinct after missing a host of chances in Greece last night.
Barcelona have made a blistering start to the season and currently top La Liga by four points from Valencia.
The Barca boss was satisfied with the point against Olympiakos last night though.
“We tried to get to our opponents’ goal through possession, but they did a great job defensively and tried to surprise us on the counterattack, spurred on by their fans,” he said.
We had chances to win and qualify, but it wasn’t be and we have to keep going.
“We only lacked a goal against an inferior team on paper, but we’ve taken a step forward, even if it’s not the one we wanted.
“We’re satisfied but not entirely so. The problem with your opponents dropping so deep is that you can only push on gradually and they can also gain momentum.”
Next up for Ernesto Valverde’s side is a clash against Sevilla at the Nou Camp on Saturday.
