The Portuguese appears ready to say goodbye to some of his team's bright young stars, despite having only just won the French championship

After winning the Ligue 1 title, Leonardo Jardim has told his players to enjoy their match against Rennes, but the Monaco coach is already braced for a struggle to keep his prized assets.

The club from the principality have enjoyed a successful campaign under the Portuguese, breaking Paris Saint-Germain's stranglehold on the domestic crown and progressing to the semi-finals of the Champions League before bowing out at the hands of Juventus.

It remains to be seen if Monaco can keep hold of the emerging stars that powered their title success, with teenage striker Kylian Mbappe likely to attract attention from across Europe, although the coach appears willing to accept inevitable changes to the squad at his disposal.
