Despite the Real Madrid transfer talk surrounding Neymar, Luis Suarez has shut down rumours of a potential move to the Spanish capital for his former Barcelona team-mate.
Neymar had a high profile falling out with Edinson Cavani earlier this season and is reported to be struggling to settle into the squad.
Very few teams would be able to afford the Brazilian and it therefore follows that he has been linked with a move to Real Madrid.
I cannot see Neymar joining Real Madrid, not at all," Suarez told an interview with Marca.
"I know Neymar and know the admiration he has for Barcelona and his former teammates at the club so for that reason I cannot imagine him playing for Madrid.
"His decision to leave was one which he thought out and would not have rushed into, but I'm sure it was a tough choice for him and it would have caused him a lot of anguish.
"We have to accept that he wished to take on a new challenge and that was a decision he took along with his family.
"He gave Barca a lot and that is what we will remember him for."
