Neymar: Told to join Barcelona

Atletico Madrid star Diego believes that Barcelona would be the perfect team for Neymar to join when he makes the move from Brazil to Europe.

The Blaugrana play the style of football that would suit the highly-rated striker more than any of his other suitors, according to the former Werder Bremen and Juventus playmaker.

Barca, Manchester United, Chelsea, AC Milan, Inter and Juventus are all linked with Neymar but Diego believes Spain would be the best option for his compatriot with Real Madrid - who are favourites to land him - also recommended.

"For the way that Barcelona play and the style that he has they would be the ideal team for him," Diego added.

"They would also be good because they always have great players," he contined.

Diego made his name at Santos also before joining Porto in 2004 and thinks that his ex-club have a gem on their hands who needs to play at the highest level.

"He is a special player with a quality that you do not often see. He is different class," he added.

"What is most important though is that he plays with the best in the Champions League."
