Here SunSport runs you down the eight players Real are desperate to flog.

GARETH BALE

It is understood the Welsh winger - who was frozen out of the side once football restarted - is willing to run his contract down until 2022.

SunSport have exclusively revealed how Bale remains furious with Real after they blocked his move to Chinese outfit Jiangsu Suning last year.

JAMES RODRIGUEZ

The former Monaco magician featured sparingly for Real during the 2019/20 season as he was limited to just 14 games in all competitions.

Commenting on where he could be playing next term earlier this week, he said: "I still don't know; Italy, Spain, England.

"It's a question that I have and I don't know, but I do want to go where I can play, where I can be happy and where I feel that I am loved by everyone.

"[England] would be a good thing, it would be a 'top' league."

LUKA JOVIC

The Serbian striker has flopped following his move from Eintracht Frankfurt last summer, as he has scored just two goals in 27 games.

it has been stated that Real are looking for £28.9million for the forward, but so far clubs are reluctant to pay that price.

Monaco are believed to be the frontrunners in the race to prise Jovic away from Spain.

MARIANO

Another forward that has been limited to hardly no game time, the 27-year-old featured just five times in the Spanish top-flight this year.

Just like Bale, the ex-Lyon marksman is in no rush to leave the club and is happy with his role in the side, despite Zidane deeming him as not good enough.

NACHO

The 30-year-old centre-back appeared in just six LaLiga matches in the previous season as he fell down the pecking order.

Benfica are said to be trying to persuade the Spanish defender to leave, as they weigh up a £9m offer.

OSCAR RODRIGUEZ

The 22-year-old attacking midfielder has been shipped off on loan to Leganes for the last two seasons.

And even though he chipped in with nine goals and two assists in the 2019/20 term, Real are ready to sell him for £13.5m.

LUCAS VAZQUEZ

The 29-year-old has amassed over 200 appearances for Real since breaking into the team during the 2015/16 campaign.

But his time at the club could finally be at an end with Madrid claimed to have put a £14.4m price tag on him.

Spurs have been linked with a move for the winger as Jose Mourinho looks to bolster his attack.
