Real Madrid manager, Jose Mourinho, has warned the LaLiga club not to sell three key players.
They are Vinicius Junior, Jude Bellingham and Kylian Mbappe.
According to the UK Telegraph, Mourinho believes the trio would make up the core of his squad next season.
Of the three, it is the future of Vinicius that remains uncertain.
Contract negotiations with the 26-year-old have dragged on for months and the Brazilian forward has one year left on his current contract.
This has attracted attention from Saudi Arabia and more recently Arsenal, who are in the summer market for a left winger.
It remains to be seen if Mourinho will eventually sanction Vinicius’ exit, if he refuses to sign an extension.
