Real Madrid manager, Zinedine Zidane, has identified at least five players that will be leaving the club this summer.
Gareth Bale and Marcelo have long been the butt of most of the criticism this season, but they have been joined by Toni Kroos, Isco and Casemiro on the list of players who don't feature in Zidane's plans.
However, Marca reports players with long contracts on big money will be difficult to push out.
Kroos, Isco and Bale all have deals that run out in 2022.
Madrid may consider trying to replicate the loan deal they set up for James Rodriguez two summers ago.
The Colombia international was sent to Bayern Munich with the German club agreeing to pay him €6.5million (£5.7m) a season and Real Madrid €6.5m a season.
They also had to pay his agent Gestifute €2m (£1.7m) and were given a buy option of €42million (£36m), which they look unlikely to exercise this summer when his loan expires.
