Barcelona have turned Philippe Coutinho into one of their priorities to reinforce the squad. However, on top of Liverpool being unwilling to let the Brazilian go, Barcelona's sporting director has a new problem.
The attacking midfielder has been sensational this season and many teams want the star. The most recent of those is Florentino Perez's Real Madrid.
Coutinho is a player that Zinedine Zidane has asked for, with the coach not having any confidence in Isco or James Rodriguez.
President Florentino Perez counts on Madrid's economic muscle, willing to make a bid of 75 million for the Liverpool man.
However Barcelona have a factor that could be decisive - his friendship with Neymar and Luis Suarez, team-mate with Brazil and former Liverpool companion resepctively.
In any case, this could become the next chapter in the the war between Barcelona and Madrid.
