Leicester City boss Nigel Pearson is desperate for his promotion-winning squad not to be broken up.
Leicester have goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel, striker David Nugent and winger Lloyd Dyer out of contract in the summer - as is Pearson.
Contract extensions are on the agenda for another seven players - Wes Morgan, Jamie Vardy, Matthew James, Anthony Knockaert, Ritchie De Laet, Danny Drinkwater, Liam Moore and Jeff Schlupp.
Pearson told the Daily Star Sunday: "One of the important things was keeping the team together for this season, when we had gone close to promotion last time.
"I knew I wouldn't be able to spend much but the important thing was keeping the players we had.
"What we have now at Leicester is a togetherness. And as a result of having a tight-knit unit, we have had a better chance of achieving our target.
"There is a real sense of unity here. I'm sure they'll want to go to the next level - as a group.
"And the fact we've achieved promotion certainly helps our situation."
