Paul Clement insists Swansea are not in a position where they have to sell key players like Gylfi Sigurdsson and Fernando Llorente.
Sigurdsson is understood to be a target for Everton while Llorente was reportedly a target for Chelsea in the January transfer window.
The pair were instrumental in Swansea's survival in the Premier League this season, and Clement insists the club is in a stronger situation having ultimately finished 15th.
"It's very clear for us. We don't want to sell him [Sigurdsson] or any of our best players," Clement said.
"We want to keep our best players and strengthen, not get weaker. We're not a club that needs to sell."
"We want to keep them here, we want to strengthen and I think Gylfi, Fernando and the others have enjoyed the second half of the season.
"They can see this is a club that shouldn't have been fighting relegation, they should have been doing a lot better.
"The extra money (from finishing 15th) helps, not only with players but also the infrastructure; better pitches, better travel, better hotels. These are all marginal things that can make a difference for a club like ours where every game is so tight.
"You're looking to get the best out of the players you have. I look forward to meeting the owners to discuss how they think we've done and what needs to be done moving forwards."
