Real Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane is reportedly planning a mass exodus of unwanted players from the club this summer.
The Spanish League giants went trophy-less at the end of the 2018-19 season, while finishing third on La Liga table.
According to Express UK, the Frenchman has named Gareth Bale and ten other players who are not in his plans for the coming season sold this summer.
Following their disappointing campaign in the domestic league, Madrid also crashed out of the Champions League at the round of 16.
While their contention to win the Copa Del Rey also ended in February following their 4-1 aggregate defeat to Barcelona at the semifinal stage.
Meanwhile, Zidane is hoping to seal deals for Eden Hazard, Paul Pogba and Luka Jovic in a bid to be title contenders next term.
Apart from Bale, Keylor Navas, James Rodriguez and Isco are also not in the manager's plans for the coming season, hence, they must use the exit doors.
Dani Ceballos, Mariano Diaz, Raul De Tomas, Borja Mayoral, and Theo Hernandez are also on the list of unwanted players by the Frenchman.
Dani Ceballos, Marcos Llorente and Oscar Rodriguez are also potential names that could be heading for the exit at the Bernabeu.
The future of Jesus Vallejo, Theo Hernandez and Sergio Reguilon are also in doubts, while Andriy Lunin and Luca Zidane set to be named as back-up goalkeepers for Thibaut Courtois next season.
Zidane is eyeing Lyon full back Ferland Mendy in as competition for Marcelo while Eder Militao will complete his move from Porto during this summer's transfer window.
Bale is the most high-profile name on the list, and Paris Saint-Germain, Tottenham, Manchester United have all been named as potential destinations for the Welshman.
Hazard has been heavily linked to replace Bale with Real ready to make a £86 million bid for the Chelsea talisman.
Lucas Vazquez, Brahim Diaz and Mariano Diaz could also be facing anxious waits over their future at the La Liga side.
