Real Madrid put six more stars up for sale as free agent Gareth Bale set to lead exodus

Gareth Bale is expected to lead an exodus at Real Madrid in the summer transfer window, with six teammates set to follow the him out of the door.

The 32-year-old's lucrative contract, worth roughly £600,000 per week, expires in June and Bale is set to finally become a free agent after a rollercoaster nine years at the Santiago Bernabeu. The Welsh superstar has picked up four Champions League winners' medals and two La Liga titles since moving from Tottenham Hotspur in a then world-record £85million deal in 2013.

In recent years, though, a dramatic drop-off in form has seen him receive relentless criticism from supporters and Spanish media alike. But Bale is not the only Los Blancos star on his way out, as Marca name six more players up for sale. The Madrid-based media outlet reckon that Real are open to selling £50million flop Luka Jovic, recently linked with Arsenal in their search for a new striker. Another name who will be familiar to Gunners fans is Dani Ceballos, who is also struggling to find a place in Carlo Ancelotti 's team.
