BARCELONA players are reportedly furious at leaked information regarding Liverpool star Philippe Coutinho.
Barcelona are expected to pursue the signature of Liverpool star Coutinho when the transfer window reopens in the New Year.
The Catalan giants spent the summer aiming to sign the Brazil international as a replacement for Neymar, who joined PSG.
But, despite tabling three bids, Liverpool were able to prevent their No10 from embarking on a new challenge in Catalonia.
However, the saga is showing no signs of slowing up and Spanish outlet Don Balon say Coutinho is causing war over at the Nou Camp.
It is said players are furious following leaked information about the salary the 25-year-old can expect to earn if he joins Barcelona.
Apparently, Barcelona are willing to make him their second highest-paid player - behind only talisman Lionel Messi.
This has supposedly rankled with the dressing room heavyweights who have been left reeling by the latest revelation.
Gerard Pique and Andres Iniesta, veterans of many successful campaigns, may be among them.
But Don Balon say nobody is more angry than Ivan Rakitic.

Barcelona news: Ivan Rakitic will leave if Liverpool star Philippe Coutinho arrives
Rakitic has been a regular at Barcelona ever since signing from Sevilla in the summer of 2014.
Despite regular talk of a move to the Premier League, the Croatia international has always remained loyal to the cause.
But Rakitic is said to be ready to leave if Coutinho arrives.
And that information will no doubt put the likes of Manchester United, Liverpool and Manchester City on red alert in the New Year.
