Villarreal coach Manuel Pellegrini knows he needs to guide his team to a top four finish to guarantee keeping his current squad together.

Diego Lopez, Diego Godin, Giuseppe Rossi and Gonzalo Rodriguez are all attracting major interest from England and Italy, says AS ahead of the summer market.

The one chance Pellegrini has of keeping hold of his best young players is to have another Champions League campaign for Villarreal to look forward to.
