"If Robinho, Shay or Roque want to stay, I'm happy because they are fantastic players, but it is most important the players are happy," Mancini told the Times.

Given has been linked with both Arsenal and Fulham, while Santa Cruz is reportedley a target for Liverpool and West Ham.

Robinho, who spent the second half of the season on loan at Santos, is apparently a target for clubs in both Italy and Turkey. Mancini confirmed that the former Real Madrid man's future will be decided within the next "five or six days".
