Bournemouth will try to keep their three most valuable players – Eli Junior Kroupi, Rayan and Alex Scott – this summer.
The Cherries will present a strong case that European football only enhances the platform on offer at Vitality Stadium, while significant player sales in recent seasons mean there is no financial pressure to sell.
Each situation differs slightly.
Scott, 23, is under contract until 2028, but Bournemouth accept he is deserving of a new deal.
Rayan, meanwhile, only joined in January and is not seeking a move this summer. The 19-year-old forward arrived from Vasco da Gama and is willing to wait at least a year until his release clause becomes active.
Kroupi is expected to be the most difficult to keep. The 19-year-old scored 13 goals this season, attracting interest from several Champions League clubs.
Rayan joined for £30m, Kroupi in January 2025 from Lorient for £13m and Scott in the summer of 2023 from Bristol City for £25m.
There is an acceptance that if all three continue on their current trajectories they will eventually leave for bigger clubs in the years to come.
Bournemouth are anticipating a relatively quiet summer, with a squad already equipped for European competition.
Their top priority is a replacement for outgoing defender Marcos Senesi. Also on the agenda is a striker to replace Enes Unal – who is available for sale – and a number-two goalkeeper capable of providing competition for Djordje Petrovic.
