Neymar will stay at Barcelona... he is suited to the city and team, says Ronaldo

Brazil legend Ronaldo has tipped fellow countryman Neymar to reject interest from the likes of PSG and Manchester United to stay with Barcelona.

Neymar, 24, has been linked with a move away from the Nou Camp this summer however his suitors would have to meet his £153m buyout clause if they were to prise him away from the Catalan giants.

And Ronaldo has given his compatriot some words of advice ahead of this summer's transfer window.

'He will stay at Barca,' Ronaldo told Canal+ confidently.  

'I don't think that Neymar will leave. He is well suited to the city and the team. I don't believe in the realisation of this transfer.'

Neymar has progressed into one of world's best players since joining Barcelona in a £49million deal from Santos in June 2013. 

The Brazil international has scored 83 goals in 138 appearances for Luis Enrique's side since completing his move to Spain.
