As per multiple reports in Spanish publications, Gareth Bale is one of the seven Real Madrid players to be offloaded in the transfer window, which will take place after the entire coronavirus situation ends. Zinedine Zidane is aiming for a squad revamp this summer and is looking to offload the services of James Rodriguez, Lucas Vazquez, Mariano Diaz, Alvaro Odriozola, Alphonse Areola and Nacho Fernandez along with Bale.

The likes of James Rodriguez, Mariano Diaz have found playing time hard to come by this season as Real Madrid trail Barcelona in the LaLiga standings. Alvaro Odriozola is currently on loan at Bayern Munich and could make the move permanent should the Bundesliga giants trigger their option to buy. Goalkeeper Alphonse Areola's loan move from PSG will end this June.
