REAL MADRID outcasts Gareth Bale and James Rodriguez are set for showdown talks over their futures next week.
Both players are thought to be up for sale with little chance of a future at the Bernabeu.

And they will meet manager Zinedine Zidane for discussions when the LaLiga champions return to training.
That is according to Marca, who say offloading the two remains a “priority” for the club.
Bale did not play in Real’s final games of the season as they overtook Barcelona to finish top.
The Wales superstar was shown pretending to sleep in the stands and mucking around with makeshift binoculars.
And he played golf just hours before Real’s Champions League exit to Man City after saying he did not want to compete.
Jose Mourinho is ready to end Bale’s nightmare and bring him back to Tottenham.
Meanwhile, former Puskas Award winner Rodriguez has been offered a route out by Arsenal and Manchester United.
But both clubs are said to have raised eyebrows at his supposed £140,000-a-week wage demands given the current financial climate.
Colombian Rodriguez made just eight league appearances for Real over the past three years, which included a two-year loan spell at Bayern Munich.
Real would be willing to accept £22million for him.
