Manchester United legend Paul Scholes believes that Luis Suarez will be making a mistake if he joins Barcelona and had better invest time in becoming friends with Lionel Messi.
The Spanish giants are in talks with Liverpool over signing Suarez and hopeful a deal can be agreed in the near future. Suarez is also keen to switch to the Camp Nou to start a new chapter in his career.
However, with Zlatan Ibrahimovic having moved to Barcelona and found himself on the outside looking in, leaving just a year later, Scholes has words of warning for Suarez.
And the former Manchester United man is of the opinion that if Suarez is going to head to Spain, he would be better ending up at Real Madrid.
Scholes wrote on his Paddy Power blog: "If Luis Suarez does sign for Barcelona from Liverpool, will Lionel Messi ‘accept’ him?

"I can’t see Suarez and Messi linking well together. It seems to me, if Messi likes you, you’ll play. If he doesn’t, you’re wasting your time.
"And, to be honest, I think Suarez is making a bit of a mistake going to Barcelona – he’d be better suited to Real Madrid", the former England midfielder concluded.
