As Madrid fans, its bad decision if Rodrygo leaving Madrid indeed his possibility loss regular position if keep staying, in other side Madrid don't have many back up position for right winger side if sell Rodrygo without get any new right winger player. Quite difficult to find new players have good quality such as Rodrygo indeed Alonso not really interested to give him more minutes playing or get regular position.
I once read that Rodrygo's playing time in Madrid during the Club World Cup has nothing to do with his departure, as said by Xabi. But I also don't really know what is actually happening. There are indeed many rumors circulating about Rodrygo, I heard that Liverpool and Arsenal are even ready to buy him. Given the current situation, if Xabi does not have a good backup player, it will be very difficult to manage the players' physical condition and fitness for a very packed schedule. So I think Rodrygo should be another option as the season progresses.
