Atletico Madrid defender Juanfran has insisted that the capital outfit will move on if key players depart the Spanish champions this summer.
Last season's leading scorer Diego Costa and key midfielder Koke have both been strongly linked with moves, while on-loan Chelsea goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois is expected to return to his parent club.
Juanfran is desperate for Atletico to retain the services of their key individuals, but has insisted that the club has a solid foundation to cope with departures.
"I don't think there's anyone who's indispensible in the world of football. If teammates leave, others will come and we'll continue to be a good team. The important thing is to have a solid foundation. I don't think we'll break because a couple players leave," he told Onda Cero.
"Koke and Diego Costa look good to me. I'm sure they'll be talking about them after the World Cup. Diego is a beast, he's one of the best strikers in the world and Koke, for me, is also one of the best in the world at his position.
"It's normal for them to receive very tempting offers, but as of today, they are Atletico players. Now they have to focus on the national team and make everyone in Spain very happy, which I'm sure they will."
Juanfran is currently on Spain duty ahead of the World Cup.
