Brazilian defender Daniel Alves has reiterated his belief that his compatriot Neymar should join Barcelona in order to "further his career".
The Barca right-back claims that the 20-year-old Santos forward will improve his game if he moves to Europe.
"The difference between [Lionel] Messi and Neymar is that Messi plays in Europe, while Neymar is still in Brazil," Alves told Le Buteur.
"Even without tactical discipline, what is important for a team is having players with maturity and a sense of responsibility.
"To further his career, Neymar must come to Europe and preferably to Barcelona."
Neymar's contract with Santos runs until July 2014.
