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.
In fact, seeing from his current condition, I consider that this is only a rumor because after all, in the same winger position as Rodrygo they still have Lamine Yamal who of course for his current position will be an important sector and he will be the first choice so apart from money because the 100 million clause is clearly not a nominal that Barcelona can just spend, rivalry is also a strong reason here.

On the other hand, looking at the emotional side, I think when Barcelona wants a player from Madrid, it is possible that their own fans will react quite strongly it seems Cheesy
At the moment Rodrygo is still possible to go anywhere but when talking about Barcelona being the destination I think this will never happen because it is difficult to make a conducive situation if it is done.
