Real Madrid manager Rafael Benitez does not expect forwards Gareth Bale and Karim Benzema to leave the club.
Welsh international Bale, 26, has been linked with a move to Manchester United and France's Benzema, 27, with Arsenal.
"I'm not going to talk about offers," said Benitez. "Everything is well and he's (Bale) going to have a good season with us, I'm sure."
On Benzema, he added: "My answer is that I think Benzema is going to stay with us. I'm very happy with him."
Bale's future has again come under question as Angel Di Maria is close to a £44.5m move from United to Paris St-Germain.
"Gareth is a huge player for us and I know that he's happy," added Benitez.
The Spaniard was speaking before Tuesday's game against Bale's former club Tottenham in a pre-season tournament also involving AC Milan and hosts Bayern Munich.
However, Benitez would not comment on any potential move for Manchester United's 24-year-old keeper David De Gea.
"I've said in five previous press conferences that I don't want to talk about players who are in other teams," he said.
"We have three very good keepers. I can talk about them, not other goalkeepers."
