Aston Villa boss Steve Bruce wants to keep hold of Sam Johnstone.
The goalkeeper is on-loan at Villa from Manchester United.
“I will be having that conversation with Mr Mourinho when the time is right," said the Villa boss.
“Everyone agrees that Sam needed to go and play football.
“The difference between him now and three months ago is there for all to see.
“He's grown into the role. He's now more comfortable in the role – and he's got that from playing. We have given him that platform to play."
“If there's an opportunity that we can get him to play more next season I would love to do it," he added.
“I will be having that conversation with Mr Mourinho when the time is right. But I hope we can extend it."
