Rodrygo's non-playing in the semi-final match made the rumors of Rodrygo's departure even bigger. But according to the local media I read that wasn't Xabi's reason. Xabi reasoned more on the technical side. But there were rumors that Rodrygo would leave after Mbappe arrived. Not only Arsenal there are clubs from SPL and even PSG are ready to get Rodrygo's services.
I am concerned about Rodrygo status these days, on his social media every time Real Madrid take the field, Rodrygo posts that he is ready but until the game is over he is not played. Xabi Alonso seems to have no plans for Rodrygo future. Until Real Madrid was finally eliminated from the CWC, and Rodrygo had to accept the harsh reality. But this is competition in football and there is nothing wrong if he decides to find a club that really needs him.
