Leeds United boss Marcelo Bielsa is eager to see star pair Raphinha and Kalvin Phillips sign new deals.
Bielsa feels it would send a signal if the midfield duo were to commit.
He said, "I describe it as important the club keeps their best players. For the club not selling such important players, trying to make an investment of £20m, shows a signal."
On the January transfer window, Bielsa added: "It's very valuable we were able to keep the players wanted by other teams. That in itself has importance.
"With respect to no signings coming in, the possibility to improve the squad was not there. The club made the necessary efforts and they also showed a willingness to contribute. A willingness to invest more money. As a result, I can only value everything that has been done."
