A sports news outlet
football.london claimed that Barcelona is also interested in signing the Brazilian international. Rodrygo said he respects Real Madrid and wants to remain in the club. But it seems Xabi Alonso prefers other strikers, as shown in the FIFA World Club event. So he might want to leave for a place where he would be appreciated more. Real might be open to let him leave for €100m (£85m), and it might be hard for clubs to afford that amount, except there are other agreements, like player swaps.
He has a high price, so I'm not sure Barcelona would be serious about signing him. Moreover, it's a rival club. If that happens, then the media will be hot with news from fans of both parties.
Rodrygo deserves to get a big club if he leaves Madrid. It's just that maybe the price negotiations could be quite difficult. I would rather see him play in the Premier League or Serie A than having to go to the Saudi Pro League.
As he
is already built his reputation coming from a top team, it is indeed quite hard for the other team to offer a competitive price just to get him. Else, he won't be so choosy if his current team will let him go and sell. So whatever good offer that may come, he should accept it. We do understand that Saudi League or other Middle Eastern League are quite tempting because they can give a lucrative offer to the athlete that most can't reject. However, at the end of the day, it depends on his decisions how he will accept what his current team is planning for him
and what principles in life he will stick on.
