Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti believes Karim Benzema, Luka Modric and Toni Kroos will stay with the club next season.
The multiple UCL title winning trio are all out of contract this summer but the Italian manager has revealed discussions are on about new deals.
Benzema, who is 35, and 37-year-old Croatia midfielder Modric have won five Champions League titles with Real Madrid since 2014, while ex-Germany midfielder Kroos, who is now 33, has won four.
Real have begun to prepare for the future by signing Eduardo Camavinga, Dani Ceballos, Aurelien Tchouameni and Federico Valverde since 2016.
And although Kroos and Modric have played slightly less often this season, Benzema remains the team’s top scorer and claimed a hat-trick in Wednesday’s Copa del Rey win over Barcelona, which all three started.
