Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho is confident Frank Lampard, John Terry and Arjen Robben will stay at the club.
The trio have yet to agree new deals at Stamford Bridge with contract talks stalling between all parties.
Real Madrid have been strongly linked with a move for Robben, while a number of top clubs across Europe are thought to be monitoring Lampard's and Terry's situation in West London.
Mourinho is determined to keep the trio and he believes all three want to stay at Stamford Bridge.
"Frank Lampard, John Terry and Arjen Robben want to stay," Mourinho told the Mail on Sunday.
"Chelsea want them to stay. But who knows, maybe tomorrow one of them signs a new contract.
"I don't think Robben will go."
Mourinho also rejected renewed speculation that Andrei Shevchenko could leave the club to return to Milan.
Reports in Italy suggest Milan are close to agreeing a deal to bring the Ukrainian ace back to the San Siro with the player believed to be keen on the switch.
However, Mourinho has dismissed the rumours and says he has not heard anything from Shevchenko about looking for a move away.
When asked if Shevchenko would stay at Chelsea, Mourinho said: "Why not? He's here.
"He didn't say that to me [that he wanted to leave]. He is working since day one, he's playing, he does his work, his personality didn't change. For me he looks the same Sheva."
