Swansea City are confident that Graham Potter's move to Brighton will not spark a player exodus.
Potter is set to take over as Chris Hughton's successor at Brighton and Hove Albion after the Seagulls met City's compensation demands, believed to be just over £2million.
It's understood the Englishman is highly likely to take his coaching staff with him to the Amex Stadium, and there have been fears that Potter, and indeed other clubs, could take advantage of the ongoing uncertainty by coming in for some of Swansea's players too.
It's not yet clear whether there are any clauses in Potter's current contract to prevent him from poaching players from SA1, but it feels almost inevitable that some of Swansea's best talents will likely be linked with the Seagulls over the coming weeks.
Reports emerging over the weekend have already suggested star striker Oli McBurnie could be lined up to join Potter on the south coast, but club insiders insist there is no pressure to sell their biggest stars.
That line, understandably, will likely be met with skepticism from fans, who have watched on as the club have embarked on a series of cost-cutting measures to try to alleviate the impact of relegation from the Premier League.
Cuts to playing staff have been central to those efforts, with 16 players leaving over the course of two disastrous transfer windows, arguably severely hampering Potter's chances of success in the Championship.
Assurances over transfers were believed to be at the heart of attempts to keep Potter at the club when he met up with club officials this week, but it seems there are still big questions over the club's recruitment policy.
Departures remain central to hopes of forming a fully-fledged budget for the summer and, despite Leroy Fer, Wilfried Bony, Luciano Narsingh and Wayne Routledge all leaving on free transfers, further outgoings are expected over the next few weeks.
The Ayews and Borja Baston remain actively up for sale, and there's a feeling that much of the activity in this coming transfer window will hinge on whether they can be moved on - and for the the right price.
However, the club are otherwise adamant that they will only consider big-money offers for their most talented players.
The first such example could yet be winger Daniel James, who persistently continues to be linked with a move to Manchester United this summer.
At the time of writing, yet while there has not been any concrete move made for the 21-year old, there's an acceptance within the club that a big-money move would likely see him move on.
