Steve Bruce says Newcastle United do not want to lose Allan Saint-Maximin this summer.
Sportsmail revealed on Friday that the 23-year-old wants an improvement on the terms of the six-year deal he signed last August after arriving for £16million from Nice.
Saint-Maximin has been outstanding for the Magpies this season and is attracting interest from elsewhere.
But Bruce, who has also seen Miguel Almiron linked with Atletico Madrid, said: ‘To be linked with other clubs, they have to be performing well. My job is to make sure they keep performing well and then let that other stuff look after itself.
