Martino looking to Suarez's influence with Messi involvement still unsure

Barcelona face a tricky Champions League trip to Inter Milan on Tuesday

Barcelona coach Gerardo Martino is reportedly looking to Luis Suarez to help convince Lionel Messi to stay at the club amid ongoing speculation over the Argentine's future.

Messi has been linked with a move to Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain in recent months, and his contract with Barcelona expires in 2018.

Martino is said to believe that Suarez, who is a close friend of Messi's, could play a key role in persuading the forward to remain at the Camp Nou.

Suarez has already spoken of his desire to see Messi stay at Barcelona, and he is said to be confident that he can convince his compatriot to do so.

However, it is unclear whether Messi will be swayed by Suarez's pleas. The Argentine is reportedly unhappy with the club's recent performances, and he is said to be considering his options.

If Messi does leave Barcelona, it would be a major blow to the club. The Argentine is one of the best players in the world, and he is a key part of the team's success.

Barcelona will be hoping that Suarez can convince Messi to stay, but it remains to be seen whether he will be successful.
