MONACO boss Leonardo Jardim has admitted he cannot keep Kylian Mbappe, Thomas Lemar and Fabinho.
The in-demand trio have attracted interest from Arsenal, Manchester City, Liverpool Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain among others.
And after watching his new-look side secure a comeback win over Toulouse, the Portuguese chief claimed there may be more exits.
Jardim, 43, said: “It’s important to keep all of the players who were important last season at the club.
"But down the years it has been shown that it is not always possible to keep hold of your players and you know how our project works.
"Therefore, our objective is to work with the players that are still here when the transfer window closes."
Monaco have already lost Tiemoue Bakayoko, Benjamin Mendy and Bernardo Silva this summer after stunning PSG to win the Ligue 1 title.
And Jardim saw Mbappe, 18, fail to find the net before hobbling off with a knee injury.

He added: "Mbappe hasn’t scored in pre-season but he’s working hard to turn things around.
"It’s not just him but all the young players who were here last season and who had such a great season.
"Fabinho and Lemar are slightly older and maybe a bit more mature but Kylian has been working well.
"They know the most important thing is what happens on the pitch.”
Monaco vice-president Vadim Vasilyev did give fans some hope as he insisted Mbappe is yet to demand an exit.
He said: "He has never expressed a desire to leave. Never!"
"We're still in talks, I want to keep him. He must take the right decision, there's a lot of interest."
