Nottingham Forest will fight to keep Morgan Gibbs-White and Elliot Anderson, with Vitor Pereira insisting they need to continue to build.
The duo will be in-demand this summer with Manchester City and Manchester United interested in England midfielder Anderson.

Gibbs-White only signed a new three-year deal last summer - after Tottenham came in for him - while Murillo penned a one-year extension to 2029 at the weekend.
But after finishing 16th in the Premier League, Pereira outlined his views about the summer.
He said: "They are top players and they deserve the top of the world.
"But I believe if we want to compete for different goals, we need to keep the best players.
"If not, if you change every season, it is difficult to be consistent and difficult to build something stronger.
"We cannot control the market, of course, but I think we are aligned; what I think and what the club thinks is to try to keep most of them and to try to control the market."
The Portuguese was unhappy with Wolves' transfer business last summer while he was at Molineux, believing the club moved too slowly and did not land his top targets.
This time, Pereira wants Forest to act quickly in the window to avoid suffering another season of struggle.
He said: "I believe we have a good squad and have good players. We need to keep most of them and just add competition here and there.
"Let's prepare ourselves to be ready from the beginning. If not, you start losing before you start the season.
"If you start without a squad, start with a lot of players missing, a lot of positions missing and important players [missing] and you start the first games without being prepared, it is a disaster.
"This league punishes you if you make mistakes."
