Rodrygo was one of the most useful players last season. I don't understand why he was left out when Alonso arrived.
I didn't see him at the Club World Cup. I thought he was injured, but it turns out he was in a different situation.
If he's not in Real's plans, Rodrygo leaving would be beneficial for him. Many clubs would want him. If he wants to leave, there are plenty of clubs in the Arabian League interested in him.
He's a useful player, but as far as I can tell, he doesn't fit into Alonso's system.

Alonso was a coach that doesn't rely to the individual brilliance like Ancellotti. Having too much talent who often did one man show is not his willingness. So he must get rid some of his superstar talent in order to rebuild Madrid as a real club that puts collectivity game play in above of everything.
He also helps club to leave from relying upon individual brilliance. This is the main reason why Rodrygo has no place in the squad, and being excluded from the long term plan. That's the reason.

Managing an all star ensemble is a skill. Maybe Alonso doesn't want to make peace with the star players and is vulnerable to them. Under Ancelotti, there was a strong bond between the star players and everyone was a warrior. Let's face it, the Mbappe transfer changed the whole balance in the team. Alonso, on the other hand, is looking for players who can create more unity in the team rather than star players.

Alonso has all the star players that any coach will need in order for him to win the any competition that they take part in. Real Madrid is used to signing star players since onset and that's why you see that they can maintain their standard. All the players in Madrid are all star players and none of them is an average player. Which means that Alonso needs to know how to manage these players in order to bring out the best in them.
