Fabrizio Romano has posted that Real Madrid wants €100m for Rodrygo if he is to leave this summer. First of all, i think that asking fee is outrageous, especially coming from a team that wants to master the art of getting players for free; they already did it with Mbappe and Trent, who knows which players they will court next towards the end of his contract and get him for free.

That said, i am not sure any team would pay €100m for Rodrygo, if that is the money they want, they can as well keep him, i think €80m at the most is a good price to buy Rodrygo.

In my opinion, Rodrygo's fees ain't nothing for PL club, but his wage is the main problem. He wanted close to the 300k, which is still high. If he can reduce it, and i'm sure many clubs are interesting to look at him. Even some clubs like Chelsea has money to sign him as long as he agree to cut his wage to the 140k 150k range.
However, his club will decide his future next week, but open to let him leave. He can still have possibility to stay much longer only if he's still willing to be benched by Xabi. Cheesy

But it is not a fact that he will be on the bench all the time, I think Alonso will take into account that the player has not left the club and is still available to play, yes, he can change tactics, not put the player in the main squad if he is not needed, but he may be useful sooner or later, so he may be useful. But he'd better find a club where he can play full time

Alonso certainly still needs Rodrygo, even though he's not in the starting lineup. He can be used as a backup. The problem now is that Rodrygo no longer wants to be at Real Madrid and wants to move to a team that will give him a starting spot to further develop his career. I think that's understandable.

Real Madrid's high price tag is quite realistic considering Rodrygo's excellent qualities. However, so far I haven't seen any strong rumors from other teams. So, even if no team is willing to meet that target to sign Rodrygo, Real Madrid can still use this player to maintain the team's stability in attack.

I find it hard to believe that Rodrygo would leave Real Madrid the fees they're quoting would be too much for buyer they'll need to reduce it to around 70 or €75m if they really want to sell him this season. Anyways Xabi Alonso would know the importance of keeping Rodrygo probably when it's the middle of the year and they need back up players due to fatigue. Alonso should just give him a trial in the pre-season and if the doesn't impress then he can be loaned or sold before the league starts.
