Real Madrid manager Zinedine Zidane is desperate to offload Gareth Bale and James Rodriguez this summer, according to a report.

Both players have fallen down the pecking order at the Bernabeu this season, making a total of 21 combined appearances in La Liga during the 2019-20 campaign.

Rodriguez has been widely linked with the likes of Arsenal, Manchester United and Wolverhampton Wanderers recently, although Bale is supposedly keen to fight for his place in the Spanish capital.

According to AS, Zidane is looking to part ways with the duo but could struggle to find a buyer for Bale as the Welshman remains determined to see out his current contract.

Reports elsewhere have claimed that Los Blancos' manager is keen to use the funds generated from potential sales to aid his side's pursuit of Valencia's Ferran Torres.

Rodriguez's deal at the Bernabeu expires next summer, whereas Bale's contract will run until the end of the 2021-22 season.
