Ronald Koeman is one of a number of individuals at Barcelona who is suspicious of Gerard Pique's intentions, according to a report.

Ronald Koeman is one of a number of individuals at Barcelona who have become suspicious of Gerard Pique's intentions, according to a report.

The defender is known to have a close relationship with Barca's hierarchy, having been at the club since 2008.

Furthermore, Pique has often been at the forefront of media attention, taking a paycut before anybody else at the club in the summer, and suggesting "we are what we are" after the 3-0 defeat to Bayern Munich in the Champions League.

Now Marca claims that some inside the Barca dressing room are becoming suspicious of Pique's actions, including manager Koeman.

The report states that there are suggestions that the 34-year-old is putting his own commercial interests above what is best for the whole club.

Meanwhile, Koeman is not happy with Pique's association with president Joan Laporta, as he believes that the defender may have an influence over the board.
