Barcelona also seems interested in signing Rodrygo. However, I doubt they'll be successful. They'll have to compete with Arsenal and Liverpool, who are also reportedly interested in the player. And we know Barcelona still faces financial problems. So, I think the chances of signing Rodrygo at this point are slim. Real Madrid themselves will only let Rodrygo go if the offer is good enough. Otherwise, they'll keep him. However, Rodrygo still seems comfortable at Real Madrid and seems ready to stay, even if his playing time is likely to be limited. However, I don't think it will be easy for Rodrygo at all, as he now faces even tougher competition within the club.
The chances are slim, and I believe this is just a rumor that can't be realized. This is not without reason. Besides the release clause, which would clearly be difficult for Barcelona to pay for Rodrygo, it also relates to the history of both clubs, which ultimately makes it difficult for a player from Barcelona or Madrid to move to their rivals.
We can see that in the past, the cases of several players who have played for both clubs, such as Ronaldo, may not have been a major issue because they previously moved to another club. However, Figo's case is clearly quite phenomenal. If Rodrygo ends up doing the same thing, it's not impossible that a similar situation will eventually occur.
So, considering these two factors, I'm quite confident that this will only be a rumor, even if they are serious, there could be a domino effect if this actually happens, which could be mentally devastating, especially for Rodrygo.
Yes, that's right. And considering Barcelona's financial situation, we can already guess what it's like. So, it seems like it's just a rumor that won't come true. Or it will be difficult to realize. Although the possibility of Barcelona really wanting Rodrygo is real, Rodrygo would probably prefer to choose Premier League teams like Liverpool or Arsenal, because that way, it wouldn't trigger a domino effect on him personally. And I don't think he'll find a place at Barcelona where he can play more. Barcelona already has a complete first-team squad. Even Rashford wasn't brought in to be a starter, but will likely only be a second-string player.
