The Brazilian's attitude has drawn complaints from some of his teammates

Philippe Coutinho's situation at Barcelona now goes beyond merely sporting limits. The Brazilian has not managed to settle in the team and show his potential, despite being the highest-paid player in the first team. He had not reduced his salary. He is on the exit ramp and his attitude has annoyed the heart of the dressing room.

According to Onze on TV3, there's a problem with Coutinho in the dressing room. Some players are beginning to get fed up with the Brazilian's attitude in training and in matches. Without going further, the episode at Balaidos against Celta Vigo was the straw that broke the camel's back.

When Ansu Fati got injured just before the break, interim coach Sergi Barjuan ordered Coutinho to warm up. The former Liverpool man was not in a rush to take his coat off and set off to warm up with a certain lack of urgency. In addition, according to the mentioned programme, Coutinho verbalised his disdain saying "there's no need now, it's half-time.' Finally, Alejandro Balde took Ansu's place instead.

After the game, some of the heavyweight figures in the Barça dressing room rebuked Coutinho for his attitude and his comments. In fact, it's not the first time they have had words with him as they begin to get fed up with the Brazilian. Without a doubt, he's one of the players most likely to abandon Camp Nou before next season.
