'Valverde sent me zero messages' - Suarez claims Barcelona boss ignored him after summer transfer

Denis Suarez claims he did not receive any messages from Barcelona boss Ernesto Valverde following his move to Celta Vigo.

The 25-year-old joined Celta during the close season in a deal worth a reported €13 million (£12m/$15m), plus a further €3m in bonuses, after struggling to hold down a starting spot in his three years at Camp Nou.

Suarez was offered the chance to link up with Marcelino at Valencia but instead opted for a return to Celta, where he started his career before heading to Manchester City in 2011.
