Real Madrid will reportedly look to sell before they try to buy Christian Eriksen from Tottenham Hotspur.
Eriksen made his desire to leave Spurs very apparent in the summer but a move never materialised, leaving the midfielder in limbo.
The player has just one year left on his contract and is running it down, meaning that he could be available for a cut-price fee in January as Spurs try to avoid losing the 27-year-old for nothing.
Los Blancos have a number of fringe players that they wish to move on in order to trim their wage bill and will not sanction any move for the Danish playmaker until they are able to do so, according to AS.
Among the list of players Real have made available are Mariano Diaz, Brahim Diaz and Isco, who have all received limited game-time under Zinedine Zidane this season.
