He added: "The press writes what they want, but the club is stable, and everything will be fine. I'm 100% sure they will stay, and I advise them to stay."
He pointed out: "There's enough time to settle everything. The boys love this place. Everything is okay, and some are trying to underestimate the intelligence of our fans."

The game comes days after Jurgen Klopp announced his departure from Liverpool at the end of the current season.
Pochettino was asked about the matter, to which he responded in statements published by the English newspaper "Mirror": "It's time for him to announce his situation. The players are professionals, they want to win, I don't see any situation that will affect their performance."
He added: "Certainly, it will be a special match for him. It will always be special until the end. Every time they play at Anfield, there will always be a celebration by the fans towards Klopp to give him all the love they feel for him, and he deserves it."
"But we are thinking about going there and winning the match. Sorry, but we don't want to be part of the celebration," he continued.
"After a few months at home, Klopp will start missing training sessions and players. When you're in another phase of your life, you start to miss the part that was really important to you," he added.
"He's a coach and a person I will miss. I love watching him on the touchline and the team he coaches. I hope he's absent for only a few months, maybe for one year, and then he returns after that," he concluded.
